Sailing Downwind
Gybe to keep the bar graph low, to sail on the headed tack.
The bar graph displays Downwind Angle (the angle of the boat
from the mean downwind direction) in 2.5 degree steps from
0 to 50 degrees, from zero at the bottom of the display. For
example, at 45 degrees the bar graph is almost full length and the boat
is sailing at 45 degrees from the mean downwind direction.
When the Wind Shift (WND) page is selected, Downwind Angle is shown
on the numeric display and the direction is shown by (Port) or (Stbd),
e.g.the example shows that the boat is sailing 20 degrees to starboard
of the mean down wind direction.
