menu>start countdown, you will see that the Continue button is
available – this allows you to pick up Deckman's rolling countdown,
particularly useful if there is a general recall or for practising starts.
For users with a B&G instrument system, it is possible to show the
countdown timer as normal on the displays.
For users of the B&G WTP, the menu>toggle instruments option when
in the start display allows you to turn the settings for the start on or off
on the FFDs and 20/20s. See your WTP manual for further details on
this.
Hold wind
This function allows you to temporarily ‘hold’ or fix the wind speed and
direction. This is particularly useful since, during the manoeuvring of a
start, the wind information can sometimes become confused. Holding
the data allows you to more accurately pick laylines and times to the
line.
In the Start display, select menu>hold wind and you will be presented
with the dialog shown in Figure 4.5. The present value for TWS and
TWD is shown in the latest column. You can either check the Hold On
box when the values are those which you want to hold the wind on (for
example when holding the boat head to wind) and/or input your own
