Tacking and gybing in wind mode

Tacking and gybing in wind mode can be performed when sailing
with apparent or true wind as the reference. In either case the true
wind angle must be less than 90° (tacking) and more than 120°
(gybing).
The rate of turn during the tack/gybe is set by the tack time in the
autopilot settings dialog. Refer to "Autopilot settings" on page 84.
