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.
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).
The minimum wind angle also applies when the autopilot is
optimising the VMG (available parameter in the Quick setup
menu when ‘Wind setup’ is set to RACING).
Range: 15 – 90°
Default: 30°
Tack angle (RACING)
The autopilot can tack also in
AUTO-mode. The set tack
angle replaces a similar change
of the set course using the
course knob.
Range: 50 – 150°
Default: 100°
