2.4.9 Auto

Gybe

The Autopilot is also able to indicate when it is possible to execute
a Autopilot controlled gybe. When the Gybe Key is pressed the
boat will be steered on to exactly the same Target AWA, but on the
opposite tack.

The Autopilot software controls the steering so that the wind slowly
passes astern of the boat. This ensures the boom and sails are
safely transferred to the opposite tack.

the gybe zone.

to execute an auto gybe sequence.
