Start Line Bias
When racing there is often a favoured end to the line. If you start at the
favoured end, you are upwind and therefore ahead of a boat starting at
the other end of the line. The larger the Line Bias angle, the more you
can gain from starting at the favoured end.
Your Maxi Display can calculate and display the Line Bias angle and the
favoured end of the line.
To initialise the line bias display
Go to the Line Bias page, Sail directly along the start line, then press
Bias angle and the favoured end of the start line are displayed.
The line bias display is continually updated taking account of wind shifts that may
occur during the pre-start period.
Start Timer
The most convenient way to operate the race timer is to use the Timer
Page of the Remote Display. Once started, the countdown is available
on all displays. See the Remote Display user guide for details of
operating the race timer.
Optimising the calculation of True Wind
The wind angle and speed measured by a masthead wind unit is subject to error
caused by aerodynamic effects on the sails.
If not corrected, these errors give rise to problems when sailing (false shifts in Wind
Direction when tacking or gybing and false differences in True Wind Speed when
flying the spinnaker).
Traditionally these errors have been corrected by a complex and time consuming
calibration process, but the Maxi Display has changed all that.
Raymarine has made two breakthroughs:
- Sophisticated built in corrections that dramatically reduce the errors for the
majority of boats.
- An intuitive one step process to easily enter a fine tuning adjustment.
For more information see the full Maxi Display user guide.
For full calibration information, including airflow correction, see the Calibration Guide.
Airflow setup is not available on the Dual Maxi.
