Wind limit:
On Virtual Regatta Offshore, a light wind limit is applied so that your boat is never stopped when the wind runs out. This limit may vary from race to race.
The wind available on the interface is therefore never at zero, and your boat will always be able to get out of complicated weather situations (in the heart of anticyclones, for example).
Wind variations:
The wind arrows shown in the game are only forecasts. The wind perceived by your boat may differ slightly in strength and direction from this forecast.
Indeed, as in reality, your boat may experience "gusts" of wind, but also periods of slightly lighter wind.
If this wind variation is at a threshold that generates a change of sails, and you are under Auto sails, the sail will be changed to use the most efficient one. In this case, your boat is not slowed down by the maneuver. The windvane gear also remains operational and follows the evolution of the wind.
The in-game instrument panel shows your boat's speed and the current wind forecast. The speed displayed is calculated on the basis of the wind forecast, taking into account the polarities of the sail used.
