8 ST80 Autopilot Keypad Operation Manual
In gusty conditions, always sail a few degrees off of the wind and pay
frequent attention to sail trim and helm balance, using the rudder
angle display on a Masterview display head.
Generally speaking, performance will be improved by reefing the
headsail and mainsail a little early rather than too late.
