[CA] Autopilot tracking

RE: [CA] Autopilot tracking
Welcome to the Raymarine Forum George,

If using Tack to waypoint mode, please note that it is not recommended that this mode be used when sailing hard on the wind, as the pilot is trying to steer to cross track error and not the wind angle. It could also steer the boat up to 30 degrees at the start of track mode to get back onto the track line. – So not practical for sailing hard on the wind.

The suggestion would be to use Vane mode, as it will keep the boat sailing up wind at the desired tack angle and counteract for current.
