AUTO TACK
When the autopilot is engaged in VANE mode the True Wind Angle
(TWA) is calculated. This enables the autopilot to indicate when you
can execute a PILOT controlled tack. When the autopilot keys are
pressed the boat will be quickly steered through the wind until it is at the
same Target AWA on the opposite tack.
When TWA is in the range
-090
0 to +090 0 the boat is
sailing in the autopilot
TACK SECTOR.
The PILOT display
alternatively shows WND
(target AWA) and TACK in
the LCD text window. Press <10 and 10> keys
together on any display or
handheld controller to
TACK. The autopilot will quickly
steer the boat on to the
same Target AWA on the
opposite tack.
