2. STEERING MODES
2-29
2.11 WIND Mode (for sailboats)
In the WIND mode, the NAVpilot steers the boat based on the wind angle. The NAVpi-
lot consistently maintains the preset angle between ship’s heading and wind direction
(true or apparent), while eliminating the effects of turbulence and short term wind vari-
ations.
To use the WIND mode, set [Boat Type] to [Sailboat] on the [Ship’s Characteristics]
menu. Also, the wind sensor data is required.
Note: The WIND mode is not available with Fantum Feedback.
