Chapter 3: Advanced Operation

Note: This method should only be used for minor adjustments to the

apparent wind angle, since turning the boat affects the relationship

between the true and apparent wind angles. For major changes, return

to Standby mode, steer onto the new heading, and reselect Vane mode.

Returning to the previous apparent wind angle

(LAST WND)

If for any reason the vessel is steered away from the selected apparent

wind angle (for example, a dodge manoeuvre or selecting Standby) you

can return to the previous locked wind angle:

1. Press standby and auto together for 1 second to display the

previous apparent wind angle (LAST WND?).

The LAST WND? text alternates with the previous wind angle and

direction. The previous locked heading is displayed, with an

indicator to show you the direction in which the vessel will turn.

2. Check that it is safe to turn on to this course.

3. To accept this apparent wind angle, press standby and auto

together within 10 seconds.

If you do not accept the previous wind within this time, the autopilot

will lock on to the current apparent wind angle.

Dodges

Full control is still available from the keypad when the autopilot is in

Vane mode.

• Dodge manoeuvres are accomplished by simply selecting the

desired course change using the course change keys

(-1, +1, -10 or +10). Both the locked heading and locked apparent

wind angle are adjusted.

• Once the hazard has been avoided, you can reverse the previous

course change, or return to the previous apparent wind angle

(LAST WND).
