Using the bezel
<Using bezel-3>
The bezel can be used to find the angle of the start
line to the wind direction. The start line is generally
set to the wind at an angle of 90°. However, it
seldom is the real right angle because the wind
direction changes frequently. Therefore, set the
white

mark in the wind direction and sail in the
direction from one end to the other. If the sailing
direction is in positive side of the white line of the
3-hours (or 9-hours) point, it is advantageous to set
sail close to the current direction. If the current
direction is in negative side of the white line, it is
advantageous to take a course opposite to the mark.
* Making full use of the three functions enables you
to sail in the most favorable course.
