Wind setup

Wind setup is only available if ‘Boat type’ is set to ‘Sail’ in the
Installation/Dockside menu.

when sailing. Additional setup
items also become available in
the User setup and the Quick
setup menus.

Minimum wind angle (NORMAL)

The ‘Minimum wind angle’ is

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°
