Wind, RACING parameters
If ‘Wind setup’ is set to ‘RACING’ in the Installation/Dockside
menu (see page 92), more settings are available as ‘Wind’
parameters:
• WIND Apparent
• WIND True
• WIND Auto
Default: WIND Auto
‘WIND Apparent’ is selected when you only want to steer to

‘WIND True’ is selected when you only want to steer to true

may change temporarily due to wind gusts. It may then be
preferred to sail to the true wind.

Range: Enabled/Disabled

Track Error (XTE) from the navigator to keep the boat on the
track line. If the XTE from the navigator exceeds 0.15 nm, the
