Minimum Wind Angle (Racing); Tack Angle (Racing); Tack Time (Racing) - Simrad AP25 Manual

Minimum wind angle (RACING)

The minimum wind angle also applies when the autopilot is
optimising the VMG (available parameter in the Quick setup
menu when 'Wind setup' is set to RACING).
Range: 15 – 90°
Default: 30°

Tack angle (RACING)

Tack time (RACING)

Configuration and setup
If 'Wind setup' is set to
RACING, you can set different
minimum wind angles for port
and starboard. The difference
between port and starboard
wind angles will be taken into
account when calculating the
Estimated Time to Turn (ETT)
and Distance To Turn (DTT).
The autopilot can also tack in
AUTO-mode. The set tack
angle replaces a similar
change of the set course using
the course knob.
Range: 50 – 150°
Default: 100°
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.
