TACTICAL PLANNER
The Alpina Seastrong Yacht Timer watches are
fitted with a tactical planner, in the form of a start
line drawn on the dial. A "+" and a "-" indicate a
favourable or unfavourable starting position at the
starting buoy.
This planner helps the sailor make decisions
concerning the boat's position on the starting line.
To determine the best position on the starting line,
use the compass on the bezel as follows:
- measure the wind direction with your compass
(anemometer);
- turn the bezel to have the wind angle at 12 o'clock;
- sail from the starting boat to the starting line buoy
SPECIAL
INSTRUCTIONS
to determine the orientation of the starting line;
- look where the orientation of the starting line is
located on the bezel of your watch. If the angle is
between 9 and 12 o'clock, it is best to start from
the buoy side. If this angle is between 6 and 9
o'clock, it is best to start from the starting boat
side.
