Self Steering
| Simrad/Robertson AP11 Autopilot |
| Windpilot windvane
(removable from stern for access to swim ladder and step) |
| The only instrumentation I have at the helm is the single Nexus repeater and the Autopilot control. Our friends on Apsara designed the smartest system I have seen yet; the instrument pod swivels around it’s hanging point on the binnacle. Because we have such good steering options we RARELY spend time standing at the helm, so having the instruments ONLY facing aft doesn’t make much sense!! I use the wired remote when I am sitting under the dodger but the swiveling pod would be better. Don’t put everything at the helm; I’ve seen people standing out in the rain and spray just because their instruments are there (and they have to stand on their toes just to see around the instruments). |
