Minimum wind angle (NORMAL)
The ‘Minimum wind angle’ is the
minimum apparent wind angle that
will keep the sails well shaped and
give an acceptable thrust. This
parameter will vary from boat to
boat.
The ‘Minimum wind angle’ applies in the tack-prevent function.
It also applies when the autopilot is navigating in Wind mode.
Use the STBD 10 and PORT 10 buttons to adjust.
Range: 15 – 90°
Default: 30°
Minimum wind angle (RACING)
If ‘Wind setup’ is set to RACING,
you can set different minimum
wind angles for port and starboard.
The difference between port and
starboard wind angles will be taken
into account when calculating the
Estimated Time to Turn (ETT) and
Distance To Turn (DTT).
Use the STBD 10 and PORT 10
buttons to adjust.
Range: 15 – 90°
Default: 30°
Tack angle (RACING)
The autopilot can also tack in
AUTO-mode. The set tack angle
replaces a similar change of the set
course using the STBD 10 and
PORT 10 buttons.
Range: 50 – 150°
Default: 100°
