Sailing page

The sailing data page is available when the MFD has been configured to use the Sailing boating activity during the initial MFD start up wizard. The sailing page includes data relevant to sailing and includes a graphical sailing dial.

Dashboard app Sailing pageSailing dialSailing page Sailing dialThe apparent wind dial is the default dial displayed on the sailing page.

When the Sail performance setting has been configured dynamic wind angle targets will be displayed. The sail performance setting can be configured from the Boat details menu: Homescreen > Boat details > Sail performance.

If the Sail performance setting has not been configured then close hauled angle indicators are displayed instead of wind angle targets.

The sailing page can be used in combination with the Laylines feature available in the chart app to optimize your sailing performance. For details about the layline features refer to: Laylines
