HOW TO APPROACH FOR RACING USUALLY:
These are the procedures usually used to start for a race:

race): SETUP
→
VIEW
→
STARTLINEANG;
5.
Before to start make 2 or 4 close tacks and with the angle to the wind
which is the most similar as possible. SailBrain will autodetect the
wind direction at that time. If you want a check you can set yourself
the wind direction by pointing out it perfectly in the same direction of
the wind and watching the degrees of your compass direction: in this
last case not made detection of wind direction at a speed too low, and
if you made both the 2 close tacks and check properly you can see
that in SETUP
→
INPUT
→
WIND DIR direction is already set and
correct.
TIP: If you find discrepancies between the wind
direction detected by the tool during the tacks or if you don't
have enough time to do them, set the direction of the wind of
your check in SETUP

At this point you are ready to start for your race; wait for the starting
procedure and make your choices. Sail Brain will help you with its
graphical view that, depending on whether the line perfectly
horizontal or not, will indicate to you from which part of the starting
line it’s better to start. In this mode you can choose the emission
partial data (11.a) or the display of all data that SailBrain offers
(11.b) according to your previous choice;
12.
Immediately after the starting signal SailBrain will automatically be in
a mode (Race mode) that will expose data you deem appropriate in
accordance with the previously chosen settings. If you want to change
the following settings you just press the "ESC" button to modify the
desired settings;
