I wish I had an auto pilot!

======================


If you do a lot of single handing you will find an autopilot, even a
small tillerpilot, to be one of the best investments you ever make for
the boat.


There may some instances where they will capsize your catamaran.
Here's an interesting article by Cliff Biddick in the Cruisers &
Sailing forum about a 42' Atlantic.

The post containing the article is down a bit, but doing a find on
Biddick will get you right to it. I didn't feel comfortable copying
the article here.
Another puzzle, but certainly a caution about leaving a cat's sails
untended.
