The helm autopilot is an advanced system that allows automatic steering by simply selecting the desired course. These systems are designed for sailboats with direct steering via a tiller
Helm Autopilots for Sailboats
Helm autopilots for sailboats are equipped with high-precision sensors. The system calculates the current course in real time using an electronic compass and dynamic adjustments, automatically compensating for deviations caused by wind, currents, or waves. They operate through an electric push rod that mechanically acts on the tiller, automatically maintaining the selected course without any effort from the navigator.
