Adjusting the locked wind angle

You can adjust the locked wind angle by using the -1°, +1°, -10° and +10° buttons, or the ROTARY controller to change course. For example, to bear away by 10° when the boat is on a starboard tack:
  1. Press -10° to turn the boat 10° to port – the locked wind angle and locked heading will both change by 10°.
  2. The autopilot will then adjust the locked heading as required to maintain the new wind angle.
Note

Because turning the vessel affects the relationship between the true and apparent wind angles, you should only use this method to make minor adjustments to the wind angle. For major changes, return to STANDBY mode, steer onto the new heading, and then re-select Wind vane mode.
