When performing a tack in 
WIND-mode, the rate of turn 
can be limited. This will give 
single handed sailors time to 
handle the boat and the sails 
during a tack.  

The tack time is the time needed for the sailor to initiate the tack, 
start using the winches and hauling the foresail from one side to 
the other. 
A turn performed without shifting the wind side, will also be 
made at a reduced turn rate. Shifting wind side when gybing, 
however, is an instant action from the autopilot. 
Range: 2 – 50 seconds 
Default: 12s 

The monitored wind shift in 
WIND mode is the wind shift 
angle measured from the last 
time the wind angle was set on 
the autopilot. If this wind shift 
exceeds the ‘Wind shift alarm 
limit’, a wind shift alarm will 
be activated. 

The wind shift monitoring can be turned off by setting the ‘Wind 
shift limit’ to ‘OFF’. 

Note ! 

A wind shift reading is also presented in the ‘Wind shift’-display. 
This is the change of wind direction measured from the last time 
the autopilot mode was changed, e.g. STANDBY to AUTO, 
AUTO to WIND. This wind shift reading is for information only, 
and not to activate the wind shift alarm.  
Range: OFF, 2 – 90° 
Default: 30°
