There is some very useful analysis of data and the laws of physics here: http://www.nar-associates.com/techni...ide_screen.pdf

The ‘rough approximation’ is to add a quarter of the headwind velocity, to maintain the maximum distance speed.

Hence the answers to my questions above are:

- Nil wind: 80

- 5 knots head wind: 81

- 10 knots head wind: 82

- 15 knots head wind: 84

- 20 knots head wind: 85

- 25 knots head wind: 86

See Trent: It’s not that hard!

I stand corrected.
