2.18 Tacking in Wind mode
In WIND mode on sailboats there is also a tacking aid function.
This function may only be used when the boat is reaching and
will when activated take the boat from the course you are
steering to the computed course that gives you the same apparent
wind on the other side.
This tacking function as compared to tacking in AUTO mode can
only be used when you are sailing with the apparent wind as the
reference (WIND mode), and with apparent wind angle less than
80-90 deg.
A quick double press on DODGE will activate the tack function
which will prompt you for which way the tack should be
performed. Press PORT or STBD to select the tack.
