Chapter 2: Using the Tiller Pilot
11
Note:
If you do not press
auto
while the display is flashing, the autopilot will maintain
the current heading.
Off course alarm
The off course alarm sounds if the locked autopilot heading and the boat’s current
heading differ by more than the value set in calibration level 6 (see
page 62
) for 20
seconds.
Cancelling the off course alarm
To cancel the off course alarm, press
standby
to return to manual steering.
Note:
If the off course alarm sounds, this is usually an indication that the boat is carrying
too much sail, or that the sails are badly balanced. In these conditions, you can usually ob-
tain significant improvements in course keeping by improving the sail balance.

If navigation information (e.g. distance to waypoint, cross track error and bearing
to waypoint) is available, you can display it in Auto mode or Standby mode by
pressing either
-1
and
+10
