To change the set rudder angle

• Select the port or starboard button

Heading hold mode (A)

In this mode the autopilot steers the vessel on the set heading.

When the mode is activated, the autopilot selects the current

compass heading as the set heading.

Note: In this mode the autopilot does not compensate for any

drifting caused by current and/or wind (W).

To change the set heading

• Select a port or starboard button

An immediate heading change takes place. The heading is

maintained until a new heading is set.

Tacking in Heading hold mode

Note: Only available when the boat type is set to sail (autopilot

configuration).

Note: Tacking should only be performed into the wind and

must be tried out in calm sea conditions with light wind to find

out how it works on your vessel.

Tacking in heading hold mode changes the heading by a fixed tack

angle, either to port or starboard.

The rate of turn during the tack/gybe is set by the tack time in the

autopilot settings dialog. Refer to "Autopilot settings" on page 84.

To initiate a tack:

• Selecting the tack button in the mode list, then selecting the tack

direction.
