Transition Speed set to 9 Knots
Transition to LO parameters
with increasing speed: 10 Knots
Transition to HI parameters
with decreasing speed: 8 Knots
Speed
Sailboat
When sailing in WIND mode, the parameters are automatically
changed by the direction of the wind as per below or by the boat
speed.
The transition between HI and LO parameters and vice versa
will have a different characteristics with regards to the wind
angle compared with the transition controlled by the speed of the
boat.
If you loose too much speed e.g. when tacking, the parameters
will change to HI to gain sufficient rudder response. This should
be observed when setting the transition speed on sailboats.
2.10 Manual Selection of HI/LO Parameters
Manual selection of HI/LO parameters is necessary if there is no
speed input to the autopilot or if you want to override the
automatic control.
