Off Course warning
The ST6001+ activates the OFF COURSE warning when the boat has
been off course from the locked heading by more than the specified
angle* for longer than 20seconds. It shows whether the deviation is to
port or starboard.
Note: * You can adjust this specified off course angle in Dealer
Calibration (see page 93).
1. To cancel the off course warning, press standby to return to hand
steering.
2. Check whether your boat is carrying too much sail, or whether the
sails are badly balanced. You can usually significantly improve
course keeping by improving the sail balance.
Note: The ST6001+ also clears the warning if the heading recovers,
if you change the course, or if you change the operating mode.
Dodging obstacles and then resuming course
To avoid an obstacle when your boat is under autopilot control, you
can dodge the obstacle and then resume your previous course.
