Pypilot working on my Nicholson 44
#37
pypilot does not know what is powering the boat, but the dynamics under sail are completely different. Most sailboats tend to be balanced going into the wind which really helps the autopilot a lot. A lot of boats can lock the rudder and hold course upwind although the efficiency especially with waves is a compromise because you tend to oversheet the head sail to get this to work closer to a reach. So without sails providing this natural balance the autopilot may have to work a lot harder.
