Operation

2.18 Tacking and gybing in Wind mode
In WIND mode there is a tacking and gybing aid function.
Tacking in WIND mode as compared to AUTO mode can be
performed when sailing with apparent or true wind as the
reference, and with a true wind angle of less than 90 degrees.
The tacking operation will immediately mirror the set wind angle
to the opposite side. A tacking-message will flash on the display
for 5 seconds. Any new command given when the message is
flashing, will interrupt the tack operation. The rate of turn during
the tack will be given by the ā€˜Tack time’ parameter set in the
Installation/Dockside menu (page 94).
A quick press on the TURN/DODGE button will activate the
tack function and the boat will start turning to the same apparent
wind angle on the other side.
