FUNCTION
To select wind steering, press MODE until the page-arrow appears un-
der WIND, and Apparent Wind Angle [AWA] is flashing on the lower-
line. Your present course is displayed on the top-line.
To activate wind steering, press KEY when [AWA] is flashing.
The present [AWA] now becomes the reference angle, and is displayed
on the lower-line to the left, followed by a sign to describe wind from
port or starboard.
To steer to port, press LEFT.
To steer to starboard, press RIGHT.
A short press changes the value by 1 , a long press by 10 .
When making large changes of over 30 , it may take about 1 minute for
an accurate course to be re-established due to changes in boat balance
which must be recognised by the automatic trim function.
Starboard
To tack, press RIGHT and LEFT together and the boat will come about
the same apparent wind angle on the opposite tack.
Port
Tack angles greater than 80 off the wind are not recommended due to
the possibility of an accidental gibe.
Warning! Pressing for a tack when the wind is abaft the beam will re-
sult in a gibe!
