Wind pure drift encounter - practical experiments for getting useful data

How to get information for wind & current limits to be potentially encountered by thrusters - or current? - this will be described in this movie:
- Measure Drift speed, due to beam wind with no propulsion;
- Measure drift speed using full thrusters
- Estimate wind & current limits to be potentially encountered by thrusters - or current...
- Finally there is a simple formula as Rule of Thumb: the transverse drift speed is about 7-8% of wind speed!
And all this is demonstrated by means of the unique SAMMON Planning software based on Fast Time Simulation of ship manoeuvres...
Enjoy, share and give some thumbs up, if you are satisfied!

Hello sir pls do effect of current and technique to maintain small turning circle when encounter strong current. Good video thank you

I will do my very best. However, progress is smaller than expexted. I will complete the wind movies first: the next is on drift making headway....
