Wind mode
When the autopilot is set to Wind steer mode the Pilot uses the
current apparent wind angle and maintains that angle as the auto
steered course.
Press the ‘Mode’ key until the wind mode symbol is visible in the
mode fi eld on the display.
The autopilot will keep the boat on that wind angle until a
new mode is selected or a new wind angle is set with the ‘Arrow’ keys. Once a new angle is
selected, the boat will auto steer to maintain the new angle.
Warning: In wind mode the autopilot steers to the apparent or true
wind angle and not to a compass heading. Any subsequent wind shift
could result in the vessel steering on a undesired course.
 Note: The Wind mode is only available if the system has been set up for SAIL-boat in the
Installation Menu.
Prior to entering Wind mode the Pilot system should be operating in Auto, with valid input
from the wind transducer.
Enter the Wind mode by pressing the ‘Auto’ key then the ‘Mode’ key until W appears in the top
left corner of the display.
