Turn pattern steering
The autopilot includes a number of automatic turn steering features
when the autopilot is in AUTO mode.
Ú
Note:
The turn steering option is not available if the boat type is
set to SAIL in the Autopilot Commissioning dialog, instead the
tack/gybe feature is implemented.
Initiating a turn
You start the turn by selecting the relevant turn icon, followed by
selecting the port or starboard options in the turn dialog to select
the turn direction.
Stopping the turn
You can stop the turn from within the turn dialog.
At any time during a turn you can select
Autopilot standby
in the
System Controls dialog to return to STBY mode and manual
steering.
Turn variables
The turn steering options, except the C-turn, have settings that you
can adjust before you start a turn and at any time when the boat is
in a turn.
U-turn
U-Turn changes the current set heading to be 180° in the opposite
direction.
The turn rate is identical to Rate limit settings. This cannot be
changed during the turn.
Ú
Note:
Refer to the separate Vulcan Installation manual for
information about Rate limit settings.
C-turn
Steers the vessel in a circle.
You can adjust the Rate of turn from the turn dialog before the turn
is initiated and during the turn. Increasing the turn rate makes the
vessel turn a smaller circle.
