Nexus 21 Multi Control The underlining sign = starboard side. The minus sign - = port side

MULTI CONTROL

The underlining sign ( _ ) = starboard side. The minus sign ( - ) = port side.

To select value, press MINUS, PLUS and PAGE as required. To store the value, press SET.

When the steer reference function (AWA) is used together with the analogue steer pilot instrument, you can display an enlarged ”picture” of the tacking or run angle. Put simply, you ”expand” the wind angle.

Use the analogue steer pilot as a ”close hauled” instrument. Example: You have selected 35° starboard side (35° - STR) as your tacking angle.

When the needle on the analogue steer pilot instrument points straight up to zero (0), you steer at the selected 35° wind angle. You can of course also use the (AWA) function when running down wind, to keep a selected value for the run angle and/or to warn for a gibe.

Example: You have selected 160° port side (160° - STR) as your running angle. When the needle on the analogue steer pilot instrument points to 15° port side you are at 145°. When the needle is at zero (0) you are at 160°. When the needle points 15° starboard you are at 175°.

At night, when you can not see the wind shifts, the use of the (AWA) function together with the analogue steer pilot is a very helpful.

This is a dynamite function that allows you to ”expand” the wind angles!!!

When a NX2 Autopilot is activated in wind mode, the (AWA) function on the Multi Control instrument can be used to perform an automatic tack.

The minus sign ( - ) in front of the wind angle value = port side. The underlining sign ( _ ) in front of the wind angle value = starboard side.

Simply change the value of the digit in front of the wind angle, and the NX2 Autopilot will gibe to the opposite tack.
