Turn through tack... so you point your sail boat into the wind and sail 100 degs off your original heading?
how fast to tack meaning? rudder angle? I don't understand
I am trying to use this to do a 180 gradual turn while trolling in a motor boat. What settings would you use..
My guess is
tack.angle - 180
tack.speed - as low or slow as possible? so 1
what is ap.tack.threshold?
Also since I started using the pypilot plugin with opencpn on my RPi the tack options no longer appear? I running the latest version 0.5 according to git
