Tacking in Wind mode
Tacking in WIND mode as compared to AUTO mode can
be performed when sailing with apparent or true wind as
the reference; the true wind angle should be less than 90
degrees.
The tacking operation will immediately mirror the set
wind angle to the opposite side of the bow. A tack
window will appear on the display. The rate of turn during
the tack will be given by the ‘Tack time’ parameter set in
the Setup/Sailing menu (page
63). The tack time is also
controlled by the speed of the boat to prevent loss of
speed during a tack.
A quick press on the TURN key will activate the tack
function and the boat will start turning to the opposite
wind angle.
A new press on the TURN key after the Tack window
appears, will interrupt the tack operation
and the boat will
return to the previous set wind angle.
