Tacking in Auto mode (sailboat)

The tack function is only available when the system is set

up for SAIL boat type in the installation setup.

Tacking in AUTO mode is different from tacking in WIND

mode. In AUTO mode the tack angle is fixed and can be

set in the Setup/Sailing menu. Default tack angle is

100°.

Tacking should only be performed into the wind and must

be tried out in calm sea conditions with light wind to find

out how it works on your boat. Due to a wide range of

boat characteristics (from cruising to racing boats) the

performance of the tack function may vary from boat to

boat. Except for the fixed course change and the

difference in displays, the procedure is similar to that of

the U-Turn described on page 17.

The NoDrift mode is an alternative to route steering in

NAV mode, and is automatically entered when you press

the NODRIFT key.

The data source when operating in NoDrift mode is the

Position (Pos) source. To operate in NoDrift mode your

GPS/chart plotter must be turned on.
