Q from customer :: TWD and Leeway

I have a question regarding leeway and TWD on H5000: is leeway used in the calculation of the twd or not? 

If I change the leeway (the coefficient k), does the twd change? Or does the twa (angle between course and twd, right?) change only ?

Correct.


TWA should be referenced to Course as this is the actual direction the boat is moving in through the water, NOT the direction it is pointing.
