Adjusting the Locked Wind Angle
The locked wind angle can be adjusted by changing course using the
-1, +1, -10 and +10 keys.
For example, to bear away by 10° when the vessel is on starboard tack,
press -10 to turn the vessel 10° to port. The locked apparent wind angle
and locked heading both change by 10°. The new apparent wind angle
is maintained, and the locked heading adjusted by the autopilot as
required.
Note: This method should only be used for minor adjustments to the
apparent wind angle, since turning the boat affects the relationship
between the true and apparent wind angles. For major changes, return
to Standby mode, steer onto the new heading, and reselect Wind mode.
Returning to the Previous Apparent Wind Angle
(LAST WIND)
If for any reason the vessel is steered away from the selected apparent
wind angle (for example, a dodge manoeuvre or selecting Standby)
you can return to the previous locked wind angle:
1. Press res’m to display the previous apparent wind angle (LAST
WIND).
The LAST WIND text alternates with the previous wind angle and
direction ( PORT or STBD). The previous locked heading is
displayed, with an indicator to show you the direction in which the
vessel will turn.
2. Check that it is safe to turn on to this course.
3. To accept this apparent wind angle, press standby and auto
together within 10 seconds.
