[Rhodes22-list] Annapolis Boat Show plans

Mon Sep 20 14:14:22 EDT 2010

Frank:

I went thru the standard calibration but did not attempt to change the standard speed.  I tried using the go to way point function that is tied in with my GPS but found I had more control simply putting the unit in autopilot mode.  I do not have the remote control although that seems like a fund toy.  I also have not used the pilot to come about rather put the unit on standby and come about manually.  As a solo sailor I plug the auto pilot in almost every time I go out and find it is in the standby mode about half the time.  I can't let the tiller pilot have all the fun.

I will try and make it up Thursday afternoon and stay on Friday if there is
a get together.

On a different subject, I have just installed a new Raymarine st1000 tiller
pilot and have some questions for those of you who have these installed.

A) have you recalibrated the pilot--for example, to reset the standard speed
on the unit--and if so, what are the settings you have found most
appropriate?

B) has anyone used the tiller pilot to come about under sail?

I have the remote control, but have not installed it yet.  Any tips on that
would also be welcome.

Just a note: we went on an overnight down river on Saturday and used the
tiller pilot to motor when there was no wind, and it made a huge difference
for me as skipper. Not cheap, but very convenient.
