Hi, I notice that you show Jibe statistics for “windsurfing” type categories. Can you add Jibes in for Wing categories too? Is it possible to tell whether the gps track has performed a jibe vs a tack? If so could Tacks be added in as a statistic? Thanks!
ps, have used the app for about 6 sessions, it’s really great, looking forward to any improvements and additions!
Cheers! Rob
Hi,
ah yes I’m sorry, for sure I will show the data for Wings as well.
To detect a proper tack is very hard, as a tack is spike in the graph, and this could also be just a normal crash. Detecting a jibe is a lot easier but detecting a success jibe vs failed is also not that easy.
So for Tacks there would be a lot of failures. Instead I could just simply add “turns”. So you would have the number of turns and the number of jibes where turns could also be a turn because of a crash.
does it make sense for you?
Hi, yes I thought it may be hard to identify tacks.
For “success” is it currently a jibe that does not go below the planing threshold for a given foil category? If that is how you do it, a foiling tack should keep speed and be a success.
How do you determine that it is a jibe? Do you calculate the change in direction relative to the wind direction?
Thanks, cheers, stay healthy and happy!
Hi,
a success jibe is one where you didn’t lose your sail (just sail drop or you fall into the water anyway).
I won’t explain how the jibe detecting is working in detail, but in general, a well-done jibe is a well-done circle.
for a tack, yes there could be planing tacks, but that’s even harder than a planing jibe. So typical tack is a very slow maneuver where you can also drift backward and it’s still all fine.
does it make sense for you?
With version 2, wingfoiling is now its own sport. You can add a lot of gear related to it, and version 2 also gives you details about tacks, jibes, and 360s.
