Display options
Use the Race panel menu to specify if you want to display the Race Timer, What if? data, Start
Line Data, or Start Line display (display the boat and start line in graphical format).
Start Line on Chart panel
You can display a race start line overlaid on the Chart panel. The start line data can be
displayed in the Instrument page. The start line calculations are done in the H5000.
Viewing the start line on the chart panel allows the navigator to assess around the starting
area for hazards. Use the laylines to see where the likely tracks into and out of the starting
area will be relative to the chart data.
The solid black line indicates the start line (between the two starting marks) on the chart
panel. You can switched off the start line overlaid on the Chart if desired.
Start Line Data panel
Select the
Start Line Data
menu option to show the Start Line Data panel. The Start Line
Data panel shows start line data and a graphical representation of the start line in the same
way as an H5000 Graphic Display. It displays boat distance from the start line, tide direction,
recommended start end bias and what advantage in degrees and distance the biased end
will give.
