2.16 Tacking in Auto mode
When the AP20 is installed on a sailboat, a fixed tack of 100
degrees can be made in AUTO mode.
The use of this function should be carefully considered based on
the boat's characteristics and the weather conditions. The tack
function should only be used into the wind and must be tried out
in good weather conditions with light wind to find out how it
works on your boat. Due to wide range in boat characteristics
(from cruising to racing boats) the performance of the tack
function may vary from boat to boat. Except for the course
change of 100° and the difference in displays, the procedure is
similar to that of the U-Turn described on page 25.
