10 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide

With gybe inhibit off:

• you can perform an AutoTack into or away from the wind.

Note:

Gybe inhibit is switched on as a default but can be disabled in User Calibration (see

page 34).

Gusty conditions

In gusty conditions, the course may tend to wander slightly, particularly if the sails

are badly balanced. If you take the following precautions, the SmartPilot will be

able to maintain competent control even in gale force conditions:

• You can improve course keeping by improving the sail balance:

• do not allow the boat to heel over excessively.

• ease the mainsheet traveller to leeward to reduce heeling and weather

helm.

• if necessary, reef the mainsail a little early.

• In very strong winds and large seas, you should avoid sailing with the wind

dead astern:

• ideally, bring the wind at least 30° away from a dead run.

• in severe conditions, you may also need to remove the mainsail and sail

under headsail only.
