I am intending to support different tack speeds by pressing and holding +1/+10, then once tacking is initiated, there may be a tack delay of a few seconds where nothing happens right away, but either way, during tacking, pressing +1 or +10 to set slow or fast? Without this, just a default tack speed.
Pressing -1 or -10 once tacking is initiated would abort the tack. Is this logic ok?
Yes, typically jibe angle is less than tack angle.
If there is a wind sensor then the tack (or jibe) would turn to the same wind angle on the other tack.
As for jibing while not in wind mode (so wont use wind sensor)
1) Make a route and waypoint where you will jibe. This gives the most control since you might not even want exactly the same wind angle if you are changing spinnaker or something.
2) Just hit +10 or -10 4, 5 or 6 times for 40-60 degrees as mentioned.
3) Support a jibe function with separate jibe angle. I can do this but it is not a priority. Not sure how it would be initiated, maybe from the menu, or some other combination of keys.
