[C320-list] No Additional cockpit winches -Use Autopilot

[Amirault Family - S&B]

All:

 

Bear has the ST4000. Your responses suggest that the process of using it to
helm the tacks is a simple one. The supplied suggested settings are a
godsend. If winter ever releases Ottawa I will give this a whirl in the
spring. I will review the autopilot's current settings as a start, and then
motor the boat sails-down and simulate tacking with directions of travel
based on current wind direction as indicated by the wind-o-meter. This
should let me get the hang of the process without having to actually be
distracted by sail manipulation. With the process confirmed I can try it
sails up with the crew as standby in case all falls apart.

 

What could be simpler? This spring. New electrics. Tacking made easier. Life
just gets better.
