I own Aurora - CG 36. I've invested in a Monitor windvane and I love it. The monitor is a much better helmsman the I am under sail. It is useless under power however. So I am considering adding an electrical autopilot for those extended motoring legs when the wind has let me down.

Aurora weighs in at 23000 lbs, the beefiest pilots I've seen max out at about 16000 lbs /40ft but I wonder how important these numbers are. I want something that can handle the last coastal trip I took which involved motoring into 11 footers for several days.

Anybody got an autopilot they like?
