2020-12-21 11:57:58 - Excel for Graduate Dummies
Here's my Excel workbook at https://mega.nz/fm/J5RXgaTQ
for navigating the OD65 from the pre-AGL days. Mega is a free 50MB Cloud store from NZ. I'm just trying it out. Could be I need to share it with others case by case, but perhaps you can just pretend to be me - jan.vanderpuil@gmail.com with pw sa1lonl1ne.
I still use this workbook and its many sisters if I'm sailing Qt-informed but 'by hand'. DON'T UPDATE LINKS, but do allow macro's.
The tab PerfLoss works out PL solutions for you.
The tabs vgprecis and vhprecis give you a read-out of your upwind, downwind and hopping angles. Click the button in cell B1 to toggle from up- to downwind and edit the TWA in cell B1 to pick up different hopping ranges. If you reduce your browser window by bringing in the left margin, you can check your angles as you race.
The tab PerfLoss works out PL solutions for you. How you use that, and the other sheets (WhichEndAgain is quite good)I leave you to figure out yourself.
Nothing is protected, so if you are going to use it, be sure to keep an original copy (which of course you can always go fetch at Mega).

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
