Glossary

The terms FleetEdge uses, each defined once, in the words the pages use.

One definition per term, in the same words everywhere. A term with a dotted underline links to its entry here. Each entry carries the short definition the pages use and points to the page that defines the term in full.

Vocabulary

The terms, defined once.

APH: the certificate’s single-number rating, as a time allowance; Read the full definition
APH Position: where the boat’s rating sits in the fleet’s distribution, as a percentile; Read the full definition
archetype: one of the fleet’s eight recurring design types; Other forms: archetypes. Read the full definition
Archetype Condition Delta: the design type’s pace shift under the race’s conditions, in s/nm — lower is better; Other forms: condition delta. Read the full definition
archetype condition fit: how well the design type suited the conditions it met, ranked against its cohort; Read the full definition
cohort: the boats a figure is computed over — a real entry list, a class, a fleet — named on every figure; Other forms: cohorts. Read the full definition
comparative time: the race-record dimension family — corrected time and rank; Read the full definition
condition fit: how well the design suited the conditions it met; Read the full definition
condition residual: the part of a result the measured conditions account for, in s/nm; Read the full definition
crew execution: the PPI pillar no certificate can compute — what happened against what was expected; Other forms: Crew Execution (PPI). Read the full definition
crew pillar: the crew-execution share of PPI; Other forms: crew-execution pillar. Read the full definition
crew residual: what remains after the boat’s evaluated pace is accounted for — negative is faster, in s/nm; Other forms: crew-execution residual, crew performance residual. Read the full definition
dimension family: one of the six groups of FleetEdge readings, each reading one aspect of the boat or its racing; Other forms: dimension families. Read the full definition
evaluated pace: the pace the certificate physics say the boat should hold; Read the full definition
HEI: the Hull Efficiency Index — a drag-derived read of hull form, ranked against its cohort; Other forms: Hull Efficiency Index. Read the full definition
mapped IRC: an IRC entry mapped into FleetEdge’s ORC-based physics view; Other forms: IRC-mapped. Read the full definition
observation: one boat’s result in one scored race, joined to the weather of its race window; Other forms: observations, race observation, race observations, boat-event observation. Read the full definition
physics evaluations: pace computed from the boat’s certificate physics; Other forms: physics evaluation. Read the full definition
physics potential: the PPI pillar that captures hull and sail-plan efficiency, from the certificate alone; Read the full definition
PPI: the Performance Potential Index; Other forms: Performance Potential Index. Read the full definition
rating scalar: the certificate’s reference rating figure
Regime Affinity: how favorably a boat suits a defined wind regime; Other forms: wind-regime affinity. Read the full definition
s/nm: seconds per nautical mile — pace normalized by distance; Other forms: sec/nm, seconds per nautical mile. Read the full definition
Sail Drive: the rig’s drive potential on a 0–100 scale; Other forms: Sail Drive Index, SailDrive Potential. Read the full definition
stability: how much righting moment the boat carries relative to its displacement; Other forms: platform stability, Stability (RM/Disp). Read the full definition
vintage: the dated data cut an archetype assignment is computed at — never a display rule; Other forms: certificate vintage. Read the full definition
weather coverage: the share of the race seen by meteorological observations; Read the full definition
wind regime: a governed band of wind conditions — upwind, reaching or downwind — a race observation is assigned to; Other forms: wind regimes. Read the full definition
