Chapter 9: Using RNS advanced features
9.7 How do I set up the pre-start display?
The pre-start display can assist you in making a good start by:
• Enabling you to calculate the extent and direction of any line bias.
• Enabling you to decide which end of a line to start, taking into account line bias,
tidal strength, and the angle and direction of likely wind shifts.
• Enabling you to select a transit to ensure you know exactly where the line is.
• Enable you to position your boat on the line, and create and protect a space to
leeward.
• Assisting time and distance judgement, so that your boat accelerates at the right
time, hitting the line at full speed.
