on the tiller pilot you press the two '+' or '-' buttons together, depending which way you want to go and it goes through a 100deg turn and straighens out. easy!

for tacking etc are you using the current autopilot? most will have a tack function that allows you to deal with sails

grant started following open CPN and s63 chart permits

i've downloaded new charts for open CPN but its not happy because my cell permit/subscription has expired. It's been a few years since I first set this up (probably why this has expired) do I need to buy another permit in the O'shop? What to check I'm on the right track before spending the 12.50 Euros

From MNZ: Good afternoon, We are writing to let you know that changes to the administrative arrangements for assessing the adequacy of recreational craft departing for overseas will be coming into effect soon.

Maritime NZ proposed new anchor watch rule enforcement
grant replied to eruptn's topic in MarineTalk

Maritime NZ proposed new anchor watch rule enforcement
grant replied to eruptn's topic in MarineTalk
and isn't the point of an anchor watch to see if you are stable at anchor or underway? worth keeping in mind these rules apply to whole range of vessel, not just recreational boats tucked up in a sheltered anchorage.
