Missed Jibes stats

Hi team,

The number of missed gybes that the app shows in all my sessions doesn’t look correct.
I am not a great gyber and I don’t disagree that my gybes may not qualify as full planning, but I don’t miss too many, I close most of them and keep sailing.
What is the criteria that the app uses for Missed Jibes?

Thanks,
Igor

Igor,

if possible please send me a GPX example file, so I can have a closer look at what might be the reason.

Missed jibes, should just be the ones where you fall into the water, so if there are too many, I need to check the data what could be the cause.

Just sent an e-mail with the GPX file of a recent session where I only missed 1 but app shows missed 6. Thanks.

Some sessions show I tried and failed far more gybes that I attempted. I think that occurs when winging I ride a swell so so change direction by maybe 60 degrees, ride a wave, then turn back to the original direction. The app seems to think I was trying to gybe.
Another ‘error’ creeps in when during a gybe there may be one date point showing a speed of say 3 knots and denotes this as a non-flying gybe whereas it is a common variation GPS records at 1s interval

I have also experienced that when I windsurf tack the app takes it as a missed jibe, but I am not even attempting to jibe, I am just tacking :slight_smile: .
Maybe an improvement could be that the app only considers as jibe when you turn following a downwind track.
Cheers
