Dodges In Track Mode; Safety In Track Mode - Raymarine ST1000+ Owner's Handbook Manual

Chapter 2: Using the Tiller Pilot
Arrival
As the boat passes the target waypoint, the navigator manually or automatically
selects the next target waypoint. The pilot will then:
• detect the new target waypoint name
• sound the waypoint advance alarm
• display the new bearing to waypoint and the direction the boat will turn to
acquire it
Advance
When the waypoint advance alarm is sounding, the tiller pilot will suspend Track
mode and maintain the current heading:
• check that it is safe to turn onto the new track
• press the -10 and +10 keys together: this will cancel the waypoint arrival
alarm and turn the boat towards the next waypoint
Unless you accept the waypoint advance in this way, the alarm will continue to
sound and the tiller pilot will maintain the current course.

Dodges in Track mode

In Track mode, you still have full control from the keypad:
• to make a dodge maneuver: use the -1 , +1 , -10 or +10 keys
• after you have avoided the hazard, reverse the course change selected for the
dodge maneuver by selecting an equal course change in the opposite direc-
tion
• if the boat remains within 0.1 nm of track, there is no need to steer back
towards the track

Safety in Track mode

WARNING:
Track mode provides accurate track keeping even in complex
navigational situations. However, it is still the skipper's
responsibility to ensure the safety of their boat at all times
through careful navigation and frequent position checks.
Passage making in Track mode assists precise navigation and removes the tasks
of compensating for wind and tidal drift. However, you MUST still maintain an
accurate log with regular plots:
