Simrad AP16 Autopilot
Tack time (RACING)
A turn performed without shifting wind side, will also be made
at a reduced turn rate.
Shifting wind side when gybing, however, is an instant action
from the autopilot and there is no limitation of the turn rate when
making a gybe.
Range: 2 – 50 seconds
Default: 12s
Wind shift alarm limit (RACING)
The wind shift monitoring can be turned off by setting the 'Wind
shift limit' to 'OFF'. Use the PORT 10 and STBD 10 button to
adjust.
A wind shift reading is also presented in the 'Wind shift'-display.
Note !
This is the change of wind direction measured from the last time
the autopilot mode was changed, e.g. STANDBY to AUTO,
AUTO to WIND. This wind shift reading is for information only,
and not to activate the wind shift alarm.
Range: OFF, 2 – 90°
Default: 30°
94
When performing a tack in
WIND-mode, the rate of turn can
be limited. This will give single
handed sailors time to handle the
boat and the sails during a tack.
The tack time is the time needed
for the sailor to initiate the tack,
start using the winches and haul
the foresail from one side to the
other.
The monitored wind shift in
WIND mode is the wind shift
angle measured from the last time
the wind angle was set on the
autopilot. If this wind shift
exceeds the 'Wind shift limit', a
wind shift alarm will be activated.
