The device displays in degrees the amount that your actual

course varies from your expected course

and your speed

over ground

. The bezel marks

provide a quick reference

that represents your lift angle.

When your boat is consistently headed, you should change tack

and recalibrate the true wind direction or the angle for the

current tack. Recalibration ensures the tack assist provides

accurate information.

Configuring Tack Assist Settings

Select the blue key.

Select Tack Assist.

Select an option:

• To enable tack assist, select Turn On.

• To disable tack assist, select Turn Off.

• To turn bezel tick marks on or off, select Tick Marks.

Calibrating the Tack Assist

Before you can use tack assist, you must calibrate the optimal

tack angle for your boat.

Select the blue key.

Select Tack Assist > Full Cal..

Follow the on-screen instructions.

Calibrating the Tack Assist Manually

During a race, you may need to adjust tack assist settings

individually to adapt to changing conditions.

NOTE: See page 6 for more information about the relationship

between the data stored by the tack assist feature.

Select the blue key.

Select Tack Assist.

Select an option:

• To recalibrate the port or starboard tack direction, hold a

steady course along the intended port or starboard tack,

and select Recal..

NOTE: When you recalibrate the port or starboard tack

direction, the tack angle remains the same, and the mean

true wind direction and the opposite tack direction are

recalculated.

• To change the tack angle, select Tack Angle, and select

an angle.

NOTE: When you change the tack angle, the mean true

wind direction remains the same, and the port and

starboard tacks each change by half of the amount of

change in the tack angle with respect to the true wind

direction. For example, if the tack angle changes by 10º,

the port tack changes by -5º and the starboard tack

changes by 5º. If the tack angle changes by -10º, the port

tack changes by 5º and the starboard tack changes by

-5º.

• To change the mean true wind direction, select True

Wind D, and select the direction.

NOTE: When you change the mean true wind direction,

the tack angle remains the same, and the port and

starboard tack changes are equal to the amount of

change in the mean true wind direction. For example, if

the mean true wind direction changes by 10º, the port and

starboard tacks each change by 10º.
