Copio aquí algunos datos del funcionamiento del programa y las opciones, así como de las penalizaciones.
Son datos de hace unos meses en Zezo . Estoy buscando si hay cambios...

Foil Behavior (Credit to Hardtack, previously known as mak08, for extraction of data):
-Foils add 4% to boatspeed when the windspeed is at 16-35 knots and the wind angle is TWA 80-160 degrees.
-Benefits begin at 11 kts windspeed, and progression to 4% at 16 kts is linear. For example, at TWA 90 in 13 kts windspeed, you would get a 1.6% speed gain from the foils. (13 is 2/5 of the way from 11 to 16, and 2/5 of 4% is 1.6%).
-Similarly, benefits begin at 70 degrees TWA, and progression to 4% at 80 degrees is linear. For example, at TWA 75 in 20 kts windspeed, the foil benefit would be 2%.
-Therefore, at TWA 75 in 13 kts windspeed, the foil benefit would be 0.8%.
-The same pattern applies when foils degrade at high windspeeds (linear from 4% at 35 kts to 0% at 40 kts) or deep angles (linear from 4% at TWA 160 to 0% at TWA 170).

Hull Polish (Credit to Inicio for data extraction):
0.3% boatspeed improvement.

Pro Winches (Credit to Inicio for data extraction):
-Basic winches reduce boatspeed by 50% for 300 seconds after every sailchange, tack, or gybe.
-Pro winches reduce boatspeed by 50% for only 75 seconds per sailchange, tack, or gybe.
-A good rule of thumb, when using Pro Winches, is that a sailchange, tack, or gybe will cost you, in distance, about 1% of your current boatspeed. So, if you are doing 10 kts, you will lose about 0.1 nm. (More precisely, you will lose 50% of 75/3600 of your boatspeed, which is 1.042%).
-Basic winches apply the 50% speed impact four times as long, so the distance impact of a tack, gybe, or sailchange would be ~4% of your boatspeed instead of ~1%. Therefore, the benefit of Pro Winches, in distance, is 3% of your boatspeed each time you execute a tack, gybe, or sailchange.
-The impact of these penalties can be compounded. For example, a sailchange at the same time as a tack will reduce your boatspeed by 50% x 50% = 75% for the required 75 or 300 seconds. This is actually preferable to taking each 50% penalty independently.

Autosails (Credit to M63 for data extraction):
-Autosails (if active) will execute a sailchange whenever the new sail's speed would exceed the current sail's speed by at least 0.3%. This provides a small tolerance to avoid repetitive sailchanges in unstable wind conditions.
-The sailchange is executed based on Server data, which is what actually matters, so Autosails will not cause you to use an incorrect sail. However, because the Client can present you with different data from the Server, it can occasionally appear that you are using the wrong sail when your sail is actually correct. It is best to either trust the Autosails or check the Dashboard for Server confirmation.
-The "Bad Sail" message uses a tolerance of 1.0%, so under normal circumstances, you should not incur a Bad Sail message unless you have Autosails turned off and have sailed significantly beyond where Autosails would have made a change. However, this message uses Client data. In rare weather unstable enough to cause significant client/server differences, you can temporarily encounter conditions where an invalid "Bad Sail" message can occur, despite the correct sail being used based on Server data. In this situation, the message should be ignored (but Dashboard should be checked to confirm).
