Sailing

Tack Assist

While cruising or racing into the wind, the tack assist feature can

help you determine if your boat is being lifted or headed. When

you calibrate tack assist, the device captures your boat's port

and starboard

course over ground (COG) measurements, and

uses the COG data to calculate the mean true wind direction

and the boat's tack angle

The device uses this data to determine whether your boat is

being lifted or headed due wind shifts.

By default, the device tack assist is set to automatic, and the

device recalculates the tack angle and true wind direction each

time the port or starboard COG is calibrated. You can change

the tack assist settings to enter a fixed tack angle or true wind

direction.

NOTE: The quatix uses GPS-based course over ground to

determine your course in the tack assist feature, and does not

account for other factors that can affect your boat's direction,

such as currents and tides.

From the clock, select START.

Select Sail.

Select Race or Cruise.

Sail Racing

You can use the device to increase the likelihood that your boat

will cross the start line of a race exactly when the race begins.

When you synchronize the race timer with the official race

countdown timer, you are alerted at one-minute intervals as the

race start approaches. The device uses this data to indicate

whether your boat will cross the start line before, after, or at the

correct time to start the race.
