Does anyone out there have suggestions/recommendations on a good tiller pilot? I’m considering the Raymarine ST2000 until I go all in and get the X-5. I am most concerned how it can handle the boat with the spinnaker up and also how it handles the waves. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
CurtI use the 1000. I’ve run my spinnaker with it, but on a reach..no way. The 2000 is faster and stronger according to a friend of mine and uses it on an S2 7.9.
On a run..1000 is okay. I’ve gybed single handed with it..hitting the +10 button 6 times and pull (A sails). In a blow..I dampened the response down so it didn’t oversteer in waves. Go 2000 if you want a faster, stronger response in big stuff. Buy a bunch of extensions to reach from beam to the tiller. 12″ is probably right.
