To tack or gybe in Wind mode, press both 1° Course Control keys on the autopilot
controller simultaneously. Hold them down until the confirmation window appears.
Press 1º > to confirm, 1º < to cancel.
The rate of turn during the tack/gybe is set by the Tack time parameter in the Setup/
Sailing menu. The tack/gybe time is also related to the speed of the boat to prevent
excessive loss of speed during a tack.
¼ Note: The autopilot will temporarily add a 5 degree bear-away on the new tack to
allow the boat to pick up speed. After a short period the wind angle will return to
the set angle.
If neither Tack/Gybe nor Cancel is selected the tack/gybe pop up will close after 10
seconds and the requested tack/gybe will not be initiated.
