The SmartPilot will then trim the heading to mirror thelocked wind angle from the previous tack.Operating hints for Wind Vane mode• Always trim your sails carefully to minimize the amount of standinghelm.• Reef the headsail and mainsail a little early rather than too late.• In Wind Vane mode the SmartPilot will react to long-term wind shifts, butwill not correct for short-term changes such as gusts.• In gusty and unsteady inshore conditions, it is best to sail a few degreesfurther off the wind so that changes in wind direction can be tolerated.2.3 How do I display boat data?Use the disp key to show ‘data pages’ of SeaTalk or NMEA data:1.
