20 ST8001+ Smartpilot Controller Operating Guide

How do I adjust the locked wind angle

You can adjust the locked wind angle by using the rotary control to change

course. For example, to bear away when the boat is on a starboard tack:

• turn the rotary control anti-clockwise– the locked wind angle and

locked heading will both change

• the autopilot will then adjust the locked heading as required to maintain

the new wind angle

Note: Because turning the boat affects the relationship between the true and

apparent wind angles, you should only use this method to make minor ad-

justments to the wind angle. For major changes, return to Standby mode,

steer onto the new heading, then reselect Wind Vane mode.

How do I dodge an obstacle in Wind Vane mode?

In Wind Vane mode you still have full control from the keypad. You can

make a dodge maneuver by using the rotary control to select the desired

course change.

After you have avoided the hazard, you can cancel the dodge course change

by making an equal course change in the opposite direction.

What is a Wind Shift warning?

If the autopilot detects a wind shift of more than 15° it will sound the wind

shift warning and display the WIND SHIFT message:

• To cancel the warning, and retain the existing wind angle and new head-

ing, press standby and auto together.

• Alternatively, to cancel the warning and return to the previous heading:

• adjust the locked wind angle using the rotary control.

•press standby to return to hand steering, steer onto the required

heading, and press standby and auto together to return to Wind

Vane mode with the new wind angle
