Using the rotating bezel (2)

Most present day yachts are capable of

sailing 45o to the wind.

To be in a position of being able to read

the wind shift after the start of a race,

make several runs before the race matching

your course as close as possible to the red

(or green) bars on the left (or right)

upper portion of the watch dial.

Using the rotating bezel (3)

By using the rotating bezel in the

following way, you can determine the angle

between the start/finish line and the

direction from which the wind is blowing.

The start/finish line is usually set at right angles to the direction of the

wind, but because the wind is always shifting direction, it is a rare occasion

when a true 90' angle is met.

In this case, line up the white triangle at the 12 o'clock position on the watch

with the direction from which the wind is blowing. Sail from one end of the start

finish line to the other, using the white lines marked (at 3 or 9 o'clock) on the

watch to site your destination. If the course steered falls on the plus (+) side

of the white line, you are on a favorable heading to start the race when you

cross the start finish line.

If the course steered falls to the minus (-) side of the white line on the watch,

you know it is favorable to cross the start/finish line on a heading from the

opposite direction.

Use any one or a combination of the three methods described above to help you

maneuver your boat into and maintain the position you feel is the most

advantageous during a race.
