Figure 98 – Vessel Track During a Dodge Manoeuvre in AUTO Mode
Document PN 29010074 V3.1
Note: if you dodge the vessel in AUTO or WORK modes, then when you
release the PORT or STARBOARD ARROW button, the vessel will
return to the same Heading – but not the same Track. The new Track
will be offset from the original Track by the distance traveled during the
Dodge manoeuvre. This is illustrated below.
In WIND mode, the vessel will return to the commanded Wind Angle,
which – if the wind has not shifted during the Dodge – will mean the
vessel will be on the same Heading. But it will not be the same Track,
for the same reason as above.
.
In contrast, when you execute a Dodge in NAV mode, the autopilot will
return the vessel to the original Track, once you release the PORT
and/or STARBOARD button.
