The Autohelm
ST1000 Plus is the benchmark of performance for the
smaller sailboat. Its powerful drive gives it outstanding
thrust and speed, leading in turn to responsive helming
and fast hard-over times - even on boats of up to 2,500kg
(5,500lb) displacement. You'll find that the ST1000 Plus
integrates easily into any SeaTalk instrument system; it
also directly accepts navigation inputs from SeaTalk GPS
or most NMEA sources without the need for external
interfaces. Safety and convenience are not optional
extras. Rather than leave you guessing about what your
autopilot is doing, Autohelm builds in a large backlit
display that provides an instantaneous reference of
autopilot status. It provides a cockpit repeater for
navigation information from your SeaTalk or NMEA GPS, and
gives an accurate way of setting up and calibrating your
autopilot for best performance. These are the only
LCD-equipped tiller autopilots in the world; with other
products, it's either not available or a costly optional
extra. |

The ST4000
Plus is the ultimate tiller autopilot for the
no-compromise sailor. The control unit and belowdecks
fluxgate compass are designed for permanent installation,
in the manner of our big-boat modular autopilots,
eliminating exposed wiring and other cockpit clutter. The
drive unit features a rugged single-stage epicyclic
gearbox and recirculating-ball leadscrew, giving the
ST4000 Plus the power to helm boats of up to 6,500kg
(14,300 lb) displacement; the still more powerful GP
drive option pushes this limit up to a remarkable 9,000kg
(20,000 lb). This is the kind of horsepower you want when
you're pushing your boat to the limits, hour after hour,
on a transatlantic crossing. Coupled with the outstanding
ST4000 Plus control unit (see feature alongside), this
tiller autopilot offers all the controllability and
sophistication of the best inboard-mounted autopilots.
Now featuring state of the art new self learning
AutoDocksideTM software which makes calibration easy, and
improves autopilot control. The control unit that's also
an instrument repeater. The ST4000 Plus is the most
sophisticated control unit ever offered in an autopilot
of this configuration. In addition to giving full
autopilot control and status displays, several pages of
SeaTalk performance and navigation information can be
accessed by a simple button-push. However, the moment any
autopilot key is operated the display immediately 'pops
up' the autopilot page to confirm your action. So you get
a powerful autopilot as well as a versatile repeater! |
