Note ! The rudder deadband setting is not available when the autopilot
is configured for Virtual feedback.
Wind setup
Wind setup is only available if ‘Boat type’ is set to ‘Sail’ in the
Installation/Dockside menu.
Wind setup has two levels:
NORMAL and RACING. The
RACING level will give access to
more wind setup items to achieve
optimal performance when
sailing.
Additional setup items also become available in the User setup
and the Quick setup menus.
Range: NORMAL and RACING
Default: NORMAL
Minimum wind angle (NORMAL)
The ‘Minimum wind angle’ is the
minimum apparent wind angle
that will keep the sails well
shaped and give an acceptable
thrust. This parameter will vary
from boat to boat.
The ‘Minimum wind angle’ applies in the tack-prevent function.
It also applies when the autopilot is navigating in Wind mode.
Range: 15 – 90°
Default: 30°
Minimum wind angle (RACING)
If ‘Wind setup’ is set to RACING,
you can set different minimum
wind angles for port and
starboard.
The difference between port and starboard wind angles will be
taken into account when calculating the Estimated Time to Turn
(ETT) and Distance To Turn (DTT).
