"I have found the auto-tack really only works when you are really close-hauled. If you are at like 60 degrees or so and hit auto-tack you will end up in irons.
Normally I just release the auto-pilot...tack or gybe as necessary...trim the sails...re-engage the auto-pilot. Most of my S1 use is to hold a heading.
Love the S1. Best mod ever. "
Thanks, Jim. I can't wait to get one on board. Come on tax refund

Mine was funded by my 2008 Tax Refund which I received in 2009.
Haven't been there and done that yet, but tips like these will hopefully shorten the learning curve. As always this site is a great source of information!
