2.4 True Wind Angle & Speed
The Analogue Wind instrument can also show true wind angle
and wind speed information, but boat speed information will
be required in order for this to be calculated, which can be sup-
plied by an IS12 Speed Log or Combi instrument (Fig 2.4) -

When boat speed data is supplied to the Analogue Wind
instrument, pressing the TRUE/APP key will toggle between
Apparent Wind Angle/Speed and True Wind Angle/Speed
display. The arrow on the LCD display will point to either
APP or TRUE indicating which type of data is currently being
displayed (Fig 2.5) -
