System information

Operation | 35
The wind display presents the following information:
• Wind (vane) mode
• Set wind angle: 010 degrees from starboard
• Measured wind angle: 009°A (apparent) or T (true)
• Course to steer (to maintain set wind angle): 345°
• Heading: 344° M (magnetic) or T (true)
• Rudder angle: 00°
• Speed from log: 6.8 kn
• Parameter: HI-A (High value, automatic set)
The set course to steer (CTS) and set wind angle are
entered from the compass heading and the wind
transducer at the moment the WIND mode is selected.
From that point the autopilot will change the course to
maintain the wind angle as the wind direction may
change.
If the cumulative shift of the wind direction exceeds a set
limit a WIND SHIFT alarm will sound.
Adjustments to the set wind angle is as per below.

Tacking in Wind mode
Tacking in WIND mode as compared to AUTO mode can
be performed when sailing with apparent or true wind as
the reference; the true wind angle should be less than 90
degrees.
The tacking operation will immediately mirror the set
wind angle to the opposite side of the bow. A tack
window will appear on the display. The rate of turn during
