[C38] Polars on the website

[Chuck Finn]

I have just uploaded the promised Polars to the Members area of the 
website.  It is in the Racing section even though it will help all of us 
whether cruising or racing.  It is surprising how much this helps course 
plotting and best VMG.   All the calculations are here including tables 
and extra plots so you can develop your own given modifications made.

There is also a good discussion and calculation of Static Stability 
which buttresses our discussion a short time ago.    While it 
mathematically says we can safely heel 61 degrees.... I am not going to 
test this!  Perhaps that is something our Transpac folks could test and 
report on?
