Can someone explain what the upwind angle and down angle calibration values are for - upwind angle 165 per the following article;

So they are the wind angles to tell it what calibration values to use.
So if you sailing between 0-65 it will use upwind. In theory if you put your upwind and down wind Vmg targets in there you should be pretty good. I tend to make it a bit wider though as you might be sailing 10 degrees lower then your target in a big sea state but you still want to be using the upwind cal number.
Well at least that’s my understanding of it.
Edit: I just relooked at the example table. No idea why it’s say 165. That seems like a huge number. At the most I would set it to would be 65 (depending on the boat)

Thank you for clarifying, the 165 used in the article is what through me off.
