Aligning the wind transducer

This procedure ensures that the sensors in the wind transducer are correctly calibrated to record rotation of the wind vane.

Prerequisites:

  • You will need to be underway, with sufficient space ahead to proceed unhindered.

  • Conditions should be calm (i.e. a slight sea) and a steady breeze. Try to ensure the vessel is not rolling or pitching too much.
