Sheet out to tack #212

Closed Nanoseb closed 6 years ago

Nanoseb commented 7 years ago

When the boat is tacking in strong wind conditions, the jib being sheeted in prevents the boat from going more upwind. Sheeting out a bit in such case reduces the effect of the jib on the boat and allow you to tack. (see #211)

Implemented in the new helming node, there is one value to tune which is the amount of sheeting out needed.
