The other day I found myself at sea with 'boat not level' and bad steering performance. I must have done something wrong, possibly whilst in the harbour: one of the roll or pitch values was 40 degrees off.
With sails down, I was able to report 'boat is level' and get suitable, near-zero values for roll and pitch, but sadly I was unable to redo my 2D calibration with the seastate I was in. Eventually I got into some shallows, but it took 5 full circles (in fact, I had already given up) before I got calibration age to reset. Even after that, even in flat water, the pypilot steered very badly, until after some time, and to my big relief, it suddenly all snapped into place and steered as smoothly as I have been used to for the last years. I was under the impression that a messed-up 3D calibration was preventing this procedure to succeed swiftly, and my question is now: how can I reset any calibration? What variables should I set to what value, to erase the 2D and 3D calibration if all is messed up? Thx!
