Tacking in Wind mode

Tacking in WIND mode as compared to AUTO mode can

be performed when sailing with apparent or true wind as

the reference; the true wind angle should be less than 90

degrees.

The tacking operation will immediately mirror the set

wind angle to the opposite side of the bow. A tack

window will appear on the display. The rate of turn during

the tack will be given by the ‘Tack time’ parameter set in

the Setup/Sailing menu (page 58). The tack time is also

control

led by the speed of the boat to prevent loss of

speed during a tack.

A quick press on the TURN key will activate the tack

function and the boat will start turning to the opposite

wind angle.

A new press on the TURN key after the Tack window

appears, will interrupt the tack operation

and the boat will

return to the previous set wind angle.
