Default Raymarine Autopilot does not handle my a-spinnaker

Yes,

I have the instructions, and have done the seatrial, the deviation
result was 3. I have been happy with the results since. I had settled
on a response level of 5 out of 9 (the gyro changes the range from 1-3,
to 1-9), but did not try in the middle of my a-spinnaker troubles
yesterday.

Besed on this feedback, I will read up on Rudder Gain, and be ready to
change that and Response next time this occurs.

Yes, those would certainly affect it. Do you have the installation manual
for the autopilot? It details how to set these values during the Sea Trial
Calibration. I did just the same thing last week for our S1 equipped
powerboat.
