Data displayed on start line panel
The following data is displayed on the start line panel:
• DIST P - Distance to port end of start line
• DIST BEHIND LINE - Distance to start line (perpendicular)
• DIST S - Distance to starboard end of start line
• BIAS - Start line bias angle
• RACE TIMER - Time on the race timer
• BIAS ADV - Bias advantage (boat lengths)
Setting up a start line
The start line is a visual aid that shows the distance from the boat to the start line, tide
direction, recommended start end bias, and what advantage in degrees and distance the
biased end will give. The start line is a line between the port and starboard end points.
Ú
Note:
The start line information between the MFD and the H5000 is shared. The start line
data numbers are calculated on the H5000 CPU and sent across the network. There is only
one start line. If you set the start line on the MFD, it will show on the H5000 Graphic Display
and vice-versa.
Menu options let you use different methods for setting the port and starboard start line ends.
You can
ping
them, set them at cursor position, specify coordinates, and set one based on the
setting of the other. You can also edit waypoints to create start line end points. After the
ends are set you can
nudge
each end to move them, if needed.
The menu options to set the port and starboard start line end points are available in both the
Chart panel and the Race panel.
Setting start line end points by pinging
Setting the start line end points by pinging requires maneuvering the boat to each end of
the start line and then pinging.
Ú
Note:
Before setting the start line position using the ping method, it is important that the
Bow off set is updated to negate the difference between the GPS position and the bow of
the vessel.
