Set-up Port and Starboard References

In this application the Halcyon Display will always know whether the current
tack is port or starboard since it is linked to your Hydra 2000 System. PORT
or STARB will be indicated on the display.

To set-up the port reference, sail the vessel on port tack until the current
heading is giving the optimum upwind performance relevant to the current
mean wind angle. Press the Enter Key (or Remote Button if fitted) and the
port reference is now set.

To set-up the starboard reference repeat the above procedure on the
starboard tack.

5.9.8

Head/Lift Trend - FFD

The Head/Lift trend indication can be shown on any FFD in a similar manner
to Off Course information.

This function can be found on any FFD in the WIND Menu under LFT/HDR. It
may be selected for display in the normal way and configured for any FFD
pages as required, see Part 2 - Operating Information.
The Head/Lift Trend may be reset for the current tack by selecting
CONTROL on the LIFT/HDR function and then RESET. This will reset the
trend on all displays and, if fitted, the analogue indicator.

Note
If the Halcyon Display is not in the Head/Lift Mode, then Head/Lift trend will
indicate OFF.

5.9.9

Head/Lift Trend - 20/20 Display

Head/Lift Trend information may be displayed on any 20/20 Display, see
Para 5.7. An L or an H will be displayed adjacent to the digits to signify Lift or
Head.

5.9.10 Turn Rate Function

The Turn Rate Function displays the vessel's rate of turn in degrees per
second to port or starboard. There are two ways of displaying this
information, either as Mean Rate of Turn or as Instantaneous Rate of Turn.

When the Turn Rate Function is selected by pressing the Enter Key, the
display defaults to Mean Rate of Turn and MEAN is shown on the display.
