Has anyone ever compiled a set for the Sonata?
I guess as we are not allowed wind instruments then they would be of limited use, but I was wondering if Hunter ever issued them.

The Sonata was designed before VPP (velocity prediction programs), so I doubt if any calculated polars exist. They are probably of limited use in a one design fleet anyway, you can tell how well you are going by looking at the boats around you. One the Sonata I crew on we leave the covers on the speed readout, it only distracts you from the race if you’re not careful.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I agree, in a one design fleet your polar will be the fastest boat on the course. Unfortunatly we have been racing local handicap and IRC so I was looking for something that we can aim at both in practice and on the course. I’m not convinced they would be too much use but I was interested whether they had ever been compiled.
