Northstar NS3300 Pilot
There are four possibilities for auto tacking or gybing:
Tack (SWA is 90° or less)
Gybe (SWA is more than 90°)
An error message is displayed if you attempt other tacks or if the tack will end
with the boat in irons.
Note: To view or change the tack mode, tack angle, gybe mode, gybe angle or
tack delay, go to the Options menu (see section 6-3).
Example:
SWA is 120°, so the boat will gybe.
The tack angle is not set to AUTO: Example:
SWA is 40°. The tack angle is set to AUTO so the boat
changes direction once:
The NS3300 Pilot

delay.
