TWD True Wind Direction - In<br />

order to overcome the<br />

effects of drift and wind, a<br />

vessel which is trying to<br />

reach a given waypoint<br />

may not bear straight<br />

towards it. As a result,<br />

onboard wind direction<br />

measurements - the AWD -<br />

may not be the same as<br />

the True Wind Direction<br />

(TWD).<br />

VMG Velocity Made Good - The<br />

speed at which the vessel<br />

is moving toward its<br />

intended destination,<br />

regardless of the vessel's<br />

direction.<br />

VMC Max Maximum Velocity Made<br />

Course - equivalent to the<br />

current speed towards the<br />

waypoint in comparison to<br />

the potential speed (as<br />

protracted by the current<br />

polar).<br />
