SailSteer screen
SailSteer provides a composite view of key sailing data, including Heading, Wind, Laylines,
Tide and Waypoint bearing. All data is displayed relative to the yacht’s bow, providing a clear
and easy to understand image of important sailing data.
Much of the data can also be read off the compass dial, for example reading the compass dial
at the True Wind Angle arrow gives us the value for True Wind Direction.
