    what would be the best choice of downwind angle on IMOCAs and why? I usually choose the angle with the best VMG, according to the polaires, but I see most other competitors going 10 or 15 degrees higher. that is faster, but the VMG is not so good. what am I doing wrong?

    It is about taking the fastest route. Best VMG does not always take you in good winds. Read the forecast, analyze it and plot your course. As franckhamburg wrote, there is no manual for that. Play and learn. If you want to use, there are routers but do not blindly follow them.
