In Wind Mode, the Pilot will steer a course that
maintains a set target Apparent Wind Angle
(
Set AWA
) or True Wind Angle (
Set TWA
). If the
wind shifts, the Pilot will alter course so that
the actual wind angle to the boat remains the
same.
With Wind Mode selected, steer the boat until
the desired AWA is displayed and allow the boat
to settle. Activate the Pilot in Wind Mode by
pressing the
ON
key once. Wind angle changes
are made by turning the
rotary knob
the
desired number of degrees, or by pressing the
10
°
keys to achieve the desired correction.
true wind angle
If a boat speed input from a paddlewheel sensor
is available, the Pilot has the added facility to
steer to TWA. This gives increased steering
stability, particularly downwind. Steer to TWA is
selected by setting
TWA Mode
to
ON
, which is
found in the
Pilot Memories
menu. Refer to
Page 11 of this manual.
