26 S1 Wheel and Tiller Pilots Operating Guide
AutoTack angle
When sailing in Wind Vane mode you should set the AutoTack angle to 20°
greater than the actual required change of heading.
Example
If you wish to tack through 80° (i.e when sailing at 40° to the wind) you should set
the AutoTack angle to 100°. The SmartPilot will AutoTack through the larger
angle and then trim the helm back to the wind vane locked heading.
You can adjust the default AutoTack angle in User Calibration (see page 30).
Operating hints for Wind Vane mode
• Always trim your sails carefully to minimize the amount of standing helm.
• Reef the headsail and mainsail a little early rather than too late.
• In Wind Vane mode the SmartPilot will react to longterm wind shifts, but will
not correct for shortterm changes such as gusts.
• In gusty and unsteady inshore conditions, it is best to sail a few degrees fur
ther off the wind so that changes in wind direction can be tolerated.
