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 stores your boat's
port
À
and starboard
Á
courses over ground (COG), the mean
true wind direction
Â
, and the vessel's tack angle
Ã
.
The device uses this data to determine whether your boat is
being lifted or headed due wind shifts.
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.
Lifted
When your boat is lifted, the wind direction
À
has shifted so that
your actual course
Á
brings you closer to your destination
Â
than your intended course
Ã
would have.
The device displays in degrees the amount that your actual
course varies from your expected course
Ä
and your speed
over ground
Å
. The bezel marks
Æ
provide a quick reference
that represents your lift angle.
When your boat is consistently lifted, you should recalibrate the
true wind direction or the angle for the current tack.
Recalibration ensures the tack assist provides accurate
information.
Headed
When your boat is headed, the wind direction
À
has shifted so
that your actual course
Á
pushes you farther from your
destination
Â
than your intended course
Ã
would have.
