2.  STEERING MODES

The TACK mode provides various tacking and gybing motions. Fixed and auto tacking 
are available. Use the tack mode when the true wind angle is less than 90°.

This function changes the current course by the degrees (set on menu) to port or star-
board direction. There are two types of speed, [Slow] (for gybing) and [Fast] (for tack-
ing) in this mode. 

To start tacking/gybing, do the following:

1. Press the AUTO key to get the AUTO mode.

2. Press the 

 key to show the turn menu.

The tack angle depends on the value of [Fixed Tack Angle]. For how to set [Fixed 
Tack Angle], see "How to set the fixed tack angle" on page 2-30).

3. Rotate the Course control knob to select a turn.

[Slow Turn to Port (STBD)]: For gybing, when the 
wind angle is larger than 120°. The boat slowly 
changes the heading angle.

[Fast Turn to PORT (STBD)]: For tacking, when 
the true wind angle is less than 90°. The boat rapidly 
changes the heading angle.
