From sailing and windsurfing point of view it’s very useful feature, thank you Windy and keep going! Also for officers on vessels equipped with wind assisted propulsion system Windy is extremely important for routes optimizations. We use it on daily basis.

@idefix37 Yes, exactly. Commercial vessels typically operate at a relatively constant speed to meet their required ETA. However, ships equipped with wind-assisted propulsion systems (WAPS) can reduce engine power and maximize the use of their sails. The entire optimization process revolves around the angle of attack (AoA) and finding the right balance between extending the route and gaining additional speed from the sails.

@idefix37 I am seeking a solution to determine the apparent wind angle and speed based on my course and speed. This is a crucial aspect of planning for ships equipped with wind-assisted propulsion systems.

Hi, would be possible to add apparent wind speed and angle for the boat in planning?
