2.12 Tacking in Auto mode
The tack function is only available in sailboats when the system
is set up for SAIL boat type in the installation setup.
Tacking in AUTO mode is different from tacking in WIND
mode. In AUTO mode the tack angle is fixed and can be set in
the Installation/Dockside menu. Default tack angle is 100°.
Tacking should only be performed into the wind and must be
tried out in calm sea conditions with light wind to find out how it
works on your boat. Due to a wide range of boat characteristics
(from cruising to racing boats) the performance of the tack
function may vary from boat to boat. Except for the fixed course
change and the difference in displays, the procedure is similar to
that of the U-Turn described on page 24.
