Alternatively, to cancel the warning and return to the previous
heading, either:
adjust the locked wind angle using the
-1, +1, -10 and
+10 keys,
or

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
Using AutoTack in Wind Vane mode
Note: If you use the AutoTack function in Wind Vane mode, make
sure the wind vane has been centered accurately.

turns the boat through 100° in the required direction:
to AutoTack to port: press the
-1 and -10 keys together
