Memorization of the tack lines :
•
Sail upwind to your optimal VMG.
•
“D 1” is displayed on the data line of the lower screen.
•
Press
to use the current magnetic compass heading as the one of the
tack line directions.
•
The wind shift value is immediately displayed.
•
Press the arrows
to display “D 2” on the data line of the lower screen.
•
Sail upwind to your optimal VMG on the other tack line.
•
Press
to use the current magnetic compass heading as the other tack
line direction.
Note
:
The sequence of memorization of the tack lines on starboard and port is
not defined. You can do starboard then port or vice versa.
The WIN mode displays an angle in degrees which corresponds to the difference
between the tack line direction and the current magnetic compass heading of the
boat. It displays ’H’ (for Heading) in front of the value if the wind is heading, and
’L’ (for Lift) in front of the value if the wind is lifting. When sailing upwind, you need
to sail inside the lifts ’L’.
When sailing down-wind,
(Port) or
(Starboard) will be displayed on the
screen, followed by the the value of the deviation from the wind direction .
Note
:
The first tack line memorized is by default considered to be the starboard
line. However, if this was the port tack line, the
NS350
will understand it
automatically.
