        Not wrong but unusual.
        The wind direction reference has been set Left to right.

        Your example is perfect to understand the effect of the default setting on the wind direction in the planner diagram. The arrows show the wind direction relative to the course of your boat sailing from left to right side of your screen.
        On first leg (1 to 2) you have to sail by tacking upwind (or use the engine) as you're head to wind, the arrow is red and opposite to the boat heading.
        On third leg (3 to 4) you are downwind, the arrow is green and with same direction as the boat heading.
        On last leg (4 to 5) you are crosswind, the arrows are brown.
