2. If the sails are unbalanced when beating yaw forces from the sails can drive the boat into the wind If the boat is driven beyond the set minimum wind angle the thrust from the sails suddenly disappears and reduces the boat speed The boat becomes more difficult to steer as the rudder becomes less effective The tack prevent function in WIND mode has been implemented to avoid such situations It reacts immediately when the apparent wind angle becomes 5 less than the set minimum wind angle and more rudder is commanded When running it is difficult to steer the boat with waves coming sideways or from behind The waves can yaw the boat into an unwanted gybe this can be hazardous for both the crew and the mast The gybe prevent function is activated when the actual apparent wind angle becomes greater than 175 or gets opposite to the set wind angle More rudder is commanded to prevent an unwanted gybe The tack and gybe prevent functions are not a guarantee against getting into a hazardous situation If the effect of the rudder and or drive unit is not adequate a dangerous situation may occur Pay particular attention in such situations WIND Nav mode In WIND Nav mode the autopilot steers the boat given both wind and position data In this mode the autopilot calculates the initial course change needed to navigate towards the active waypoint but the pilot also utilizes the current wind direction in the calculation Autopilot
