Gybing
Gybing is possible when the true wind angle is larger
than 120°.
TURN
The time to make a gybe is determined by the speed of
the boat to make it as quick as possible within control.
Tack and gybe prevent
When beati
ng and running, using the autopilot is most
critical.
If the sails are unbalanced when beating, yaw forces from
the sails can drive the boat into the wind. If the boat is
driven beyond the set minimum wind angle (see page
90), the thrust from the sails will suddenly disappear and
reduces the
boat speed. Hence the boat will be more
difficult to steer because the rudder will become less
effective.
The tack prevent function in WIND mode has been
implemented to avoid such situations. It will react
immediately when the apparent wind angle becomes 5°
less than the set minimum wind angle, and more rudder
will be commanded.
When running, it is difficult to steer the boat with waves
coming sideways or from behind. The waves may yaw the
boat into an unwanted gybe; this can be hazardous for
both the crew and the mast.
The gybe prevent function will be activated when the
actual apparent wind angle becomes greater than 175° or
