Hi there,
I'm relatively new to the software and recently finished a delivery using it as our primary routing software. One feature I assume it would be capable of but could not locate was running a route while giving it a lower and upper limit on TWA I'd like to experience during the voyage. For example, could I specify to it that over the course I input (or just between two marks) that I want to sail at no greater than 120 TWA and no less than 90 TWA?
Thanks!

The output of the routing isn't strictly a list of sailing angles or directions.
There are sections of the routing (dashes on the charts) where you are expected to be tacking or gybing along a line to make the best VMG given e conditions.

Thanks for the info Sparky! I'm aware of that but I was wondering if you could give a preferred wind angle / restrict it to within certain TWAs when able. The idea being that along a line between two points where wind is expected to shift significantly there is a route that you could theoretically spend the majority of your time on with a wind angle close to XXX degrees true.

If you just adjust your polars (temporary) with very low boatspeed outside the desired wind angle range, I guess you should be able to get what you're looking for.
