Actually, I think all that would be necessary to change the game so that the wind would move in 1 point increments rather than 2 would be a wind indicator base with 16 sides rather than 8.

Based on the component list in the rules, the probability of a change in wind direction seems higher than a change in wind strength. is this reasonable?
The two often go together.
Which is more...
With first a disclaimer that I am not a meteorologist or even play one on TV, I have spent a good deal of time sailing and looking for potential wind changes.
1) Once the wind changes, would a...
While computer modeling the wind shift frequency I had another thought:
Many natural phenomenon, including wind direction, follow something of a power law.
That is, small changes are frequent...
So I have gone ahead and done a bit of analysis assuming that there are 10 wind direction change (or not) counters: 3 in each direction and 4 unchanged counters.
Because of the degree of...
It does appear that way.
The rules say that while the unchanged counters are replaced the change counter is not replaced unless it is cancelled by one of another direction OR A SECOND ONE OF THE...
So before I make any comments on wind direction changes I have a question or three:
On page 58 of the rules under the Wind Counters section the 2nd drawing from the left has the caption:
