Using the Starting Line Guidance

You can use the starting line guidance feature to help get you

cross the start line, at the optimal speed during a sailing race.

Mark the starting line (Setting the Starting Line, page 21).

Start Line Guidance > Target Speed, and select your target

speed when crossing the starting line.

Select Target Time, and select the target time to cross the

starting line.

Select Back.

Start the racing timer (Starting the Race Timer, page 22).

by default.

From the Sail Racing combination screen, select Start.

screen and the navigation chart.

When necessary, select Sync to synchronize with the official

race timer.

Stopping the Race Timer

From the Sail Racing combination screen, select Stop.

Setting the Distance between the Bow and the GPS

Antenna

You can enter the distance between the bow of your boat and

the location of your GPS antenna. This helps ensure the bow of

your boat crosses the starting line at the precise start time.

From a navigation chart, select Menu > Sailing > Start Line

> GPS Bow Offset.

Enter the distance.

Select Done.

Laylines Settings

To use the laylines features, you must connect a wind sensor to

the chartplotter.

When in sailing modeSetting the Vessel Type, page 4, you can

display laylines on the navigation chart. Laylines can be very

helpful when racing.

From the navigation chart, select Menu > Layers > My Vessel >

Laylines > Setup.

Display: Sets how the laylines and vessel appear on the chart,

and sets the length of the laylines.

Sailing Ang.: Allows you to select how the device calculates

laylines. The Actual option calculates the laylines using the

measured wind angle from the wind sensor. The Manual

option calculates the laylines using manually entered

windward and leeward angles.

Windward Ang.: Allows you to set a layline based on the

windward sailing angle.

Leeward Ang.: Allows you to set a layline based on the leeward

sailing angle.

Tide Correction: Corrects the laylines based on the tide.

Layline Filter: Filters the layline data based on the time interval

entered. For a smoother layline that filters out some of the

changes in the boat's heading or true wind angle, enter a

higher number. For laylines that display a higher sensitivity to

changes in the boat's heading or true wind angle, enter a

lower number.

Setting the Keel Offset

You can enter a keel offset to compensate the water depth

reading for the transducer installation location. This allows you

to view the depth of the water below the keel or the true depth of

the water, depending on your needs.

If you want to know the water depth below the keel or the lowest

point of your boat and the transducer is installed at the water

line or anywhere above the end of the keel, measure the

distance from the transducer location to the keel of the boat.

If you want to know the true water depth and the transducer is

installed below the water line, measure the distance from the

bottom of the transducer up to the water line.

NOTE: This option is only available when you have valid depth

data.

Measure the distance:

• If the transducer is installed at the water line or

anywhere above the end of the keel, measure the

distance from the transducer location to the keel of the

boat. Enter this value as a positive number.

• If the transducer is installed at the bottom of the keel

and you want to know the true depth of the water,

measure the distance from the transducer to the water

line. Enter this value in as a negative number.

Select Settings > My Vessel > Depth and Anchoring >

Keel Offset.

Select if the transducer is installed at the water line, or

select if the transducer is installed at the bottom of the

keel.

Enter the distance measured in step 1.

Heading Line and Angle Markers

The heading line is an extension drawn on the map from the

bow of the boat in the direction of travel. Angle markers indicate

relative position from the heading or course over ground, which

are helpful for casting or finding reference points.
