    Checking past race against new polars

    Hi,  Had the wrong polars loaded during the last race where we sailed particularly well (or better).  How can I use saved log data to compare our performance against a different polar?  Help appreciated.  Thanks

    Polars are not embedded in your log file, so you should be able to just replay it, and display a Percentage of Polar based on new ones, using the old BSP, TWS, TWA. 

    Comparing two sets across the log file, could be a bit trickier, though probably doable in Excel with some vlookups and interpolation/averaging work.

    You likely use Stripchart to assess performance.   When you load a logfile in Stripchart (Fle - load logfile) you can also indicate which polar should be used.
