Apparent wind angle
Apparent Wind Angle (AWA) is the angle of the wind relative to the bow of the boat. The value
displayed is back-calculated from the True Wind data so as to include True Wind Correction
data. Raw wind angle data from the masthead unit is displayed as Measured Wind Angle.

Apparent wind speed
Apparent Wind Speed (AWS) is the speed of the wind relative to the boat. The value displayed
is back-calculated from the True Wind data so as to include True Wind Correction data. Raw
wind speed data from the masthead unit is displayed as Measured Wind Speed.

¼ Note:
The calibration values are factory set based on wind-tunnel tested sample units and it
is not recommended to change these. The option to change them exists for advanced users
who may choose to individually test masthead units to obtain specifi c calibration data. Both
calibration values are set to 1.04 by default.
Average speed
Average Speed (AVS) is a Trip Function that displays the average Boat Speed [speed through
the water] since the Trip Log was started.
In simple terms this can be calculated as:
Average Speed =
