4. CALCULATING COURSE TO NEXT MARK
Setting the bearing to the next mark on the race is sometimes difficult due to poor visibility. Suunto M3 allows you to calculate the bearing to the next race marker in advance, before you reach the turning point. This way you can steer to the correct direction as soon as possible.
The calculation is based on the standard turning angles (30°, 45°, 60°) depending on the race course.
60°
15°
1.Steer directly toward the first mark and check your current bearing from the boat compass.
Example: the bearing to the first mark is 15°.
2.Adjust the Suunto M3 rotating bezel so that your bearing is parallel to the black triangle on the inner ring.
