Subject: Stus-List C&C List Re: Autopilots & Windvane Steering Systems


Lloyd -- from a previous life as an installer, I can still source electronics 
at 
retty good prices; for instance, I can get the Raymarine E12199 SmartPilot X-30 
orepack for under $1900, and the E22166 P70 Autopilot Control Head for under 
450.  Shop around and check pricing; if you'd like to order through me, please 
et me know.  I ONLY provide this service as a courtesy to C&C List members, not 
s a business concern (as I don't make any $$$ at it?).
With those two items and the previously-mentioned Octopus linear hydraulic 
drive 
t $1580, you'd be looking at about $3930 plus shipping and installation for a 
ick-@$$ autopilot system well-suited to the LF39.
How much of this will you be doing yourself?

i Fred and fellow Listers
My name is Joseph and I am a newbie on Stu's List.
 purchased my 1975 C&C 35 MK II last August and ran her aground on October 7th 
n the evening of the first day of what was supposed to be a journey to the 
aribbean and eventually ending in Vancouver.
ne of the factors that led to my grounding (there where several) was that I did 
ot have a working autopilot and was single-handed.
So on my list of upgrades for Silent Runner is an autopilot and wondered if the 
ystem you recommended to Lloyd in your recent post would be suitable for the 
5-2?
Also my research has led me to believe that an autopilot coupled with a 
ind-vane steering system is the way to go if you are planning to go offshore.
 understand that the wind vane system does the bulk of the steering (it is 
uiet and does not consume electricity) and the autopilot is reserved for 
alm/motoring conditions.
Does anyone on the list have such a dual system on their boat?
Two wind-vane systems that are of interest to me are: 1)  Cape Horn Integrated 
elf Steering  http://www.capehorn.com/index.html
                                                                                
                 2)  Norvane Self Steering Windvane       
http://www.selfsteering.com

nyone have experiences (good or bad) with either of these systems (or any 
ystem for that matter) coupled with an autopilot?
Fair winds,
