2.15 Tacking in Auto Compass mode
When the AP11 is installed on a sailboat, a fixed tack of 100
degrees can be made in AUTO mode.
The use of this function should be carefully considered
based on the boats characteristics and the weather situation.
The tack function should only be used into the wind and
must be tried out in good weather conditions with light
wind to find out how it works on your boat. Due to wide
range in boat characteristics (from cruising to racing boats)
the performance of the tack function may vary from boat to
boat.
