/*
To Do List
 - Improve tacking in light winds and bearing away in strong wings
 - consider drag vs lift sailing differences, ie upwind sail is like wing, dead down wind sail is like parachute
 - max speed parameter and controller, for mapping you may not want to go too fast
 - mavlink sailing messages
 - smart decision making, ie tack on windshifts, what to do if stuck head to wind
 - some sailing codes track waves to try and 'surf' and to allow tacking on a flat bit, not sure if there is much gain to be had here
 - add some sort of pitch monitoring to prevent nose diving in heavy weather
 - pitch PID for hydrofoils
 - more advanced sail control, ie twist
 - independent sheeting for main and jib
 - tack on depth sounder info to stop sailing into shallow water on indirect sailing routes
 - add option to do proper tacks, ie tacking on flat spot in the waves, or only try once at a certain speed, or some better method than just changing the desired heading suddenly
