6.8.1 TACK/GYBE mode
Note The function of the left SoftKey is dependent on angular wind data
received by the Autopilot. “TACK” is only shown when sailing into
wind and “GYBE” is only shown when sailing with the wind.
To initialise a Tack/Gybe, press the TACK/GYBE SoftKey.
The display now shows “TACK” or “GYBE” flashing on the
screen, Press OK to confirm this action (Fig. 6.13).
Note If you do not confirm this within 5 seconds the display will return
to Auto Wind Mode display.
Once the Tack or Gybe has been confirmed the boat will start to
turn. The rate of turn is dictated by the Autopilot Course computer
and not the WR20 Handset.
At this stage, pressing the CANCEL SoftKey within 5 second
cancels the Tack or Gybe and returns the boat to the original tack.
Once the 5 seconds has elapsed, the display will return to the Auto
Compass Mode display.
