Set Up and Read Ansar 4 Tactical Compass in oscillating wind shifts
Channel: Anders Ansar
Date: 2011-09-17

Revolutionary simple set up and readjustment  - just move the markers so they indicate Maximum Lift on each tack! 
This is unlike Velocitek Shift/Puck and Tacktick Race Master which need note taking and calculations to get the mean wind direction for set up and for readjustment during the race.
  Ansar Compass now also with Remote Control. For all models see  https://sites.google.com/site/compassansar/

World's best tactical compass?  Mechanical - Non electronic - allowed in most racing classes. An Ansar Compass.

  The Velocitek Shift Manual, http://www.velocitek.com/assets/files/manuals/Shift/Velocitek%20Shift%20User%20Manual.pdf  , 
avoids telling you how to get the "Reference Angles" for each tack, which are the 0 lift angle for each tack. For this you still need taking notes and calculate before and during the race! No major advantage with Velocitek Shift.
   For How to detect a larger lift than before with the Ansar 4 Tactical Compass see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq--v_xOOqk  This is also done without taking notes. Velocitek Shift and Tacktick require note taking!
