bjkTX Posted October 23, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I didn't see SOA on that site - but wasn't sure where to look :-) If it's a ship - how about Spirit of Adventure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlinmike Posted October 23, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted October 23, 2007 If you go to this spot on their website you'll see a lot of data regarding the Coral. In the chart below the map one of the columns is SOA. For some reason or another I'm thinking it has something to do with wave height - but what do I know?

bjkTX Posted October 23, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 23, 2007 ok - well then this is my second guess :-) Speed of Advance (SOA) – The speed intended to be made good along the track. The average speed in knots which must be maintained during a passage to arrive at a destination at an appointed time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlinmike Posted October 23, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I found it just as you posted it - thanks. Yeah, the definition I found was Speed of Advancement. Thanks, Marlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefim Posted October 23, 2007 #6 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Does anyone know what SOA stands for on sailwx.info? SOA = Speed of Advance is the speed a ship would travel through the water at any given shaft (propellor) rotation, not taking into account any external forces such as set and drift.

rob.potter Posted October 23, 2007 #8 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I believe it is Speed Of Advance. The speed intended to be made along a specific track.
