	You shouldn't. Just set it to 'compass'.

	I struggle to remember 1 number, now you want me to remember 2.

	Aren’t you meant to do a few tacks to read the prevailing conditions before setting the tacking angle in the tactical mode?

	Dunno, not sailed with a Tacktick yet. I thought the tacking angle was class specific, subject to minor variations due to stuff like conditions, technique etc. Obviously one needs to suss the beat out first.

	I agree that it would make life a lot easier using the tactics mode and only having one number to remember. I have been playing around with mine on a 500 and unfortunately it seems to change a lot depending on conditions. I have had it as low as 74 in flat water and 12 knots going up to 80 when it gets lumpy and /or very light. It is all quite difficult though and I'm not sure whether I should bite the bullet and go back to the compass mode to make life simpler (and get the crew to remember the numbers for me!)

	Need to check rs rules, not sure that strictly speaking your allowed to use the tactics function, only the conventional compass and timer!

	Doesn't the tactical mode only give you info to the nearest 5 degrees? That's just wrong IMHO.
