John,
I had one on a Catalina 22 that worked well. I did not use it in heavy
(choppy) seas. Perhaps the 27 is too large for the ST1000?

I have an earlier model, yet similiar, that I use on a Tartan 27.

It's very nice for dull motoring, and smooth sailing with balenced sails.

Rolling seas overwelm mine.

Perhaps the newer model has a faster correction.

It's still a great, well built product, but it's not perfect.

John.

I use my ST1000 on my 7 metre and it is brilliant.

I love it and would be without it.

I have used it going to wind, down wind and cross wind, in flat and moderate
seas and it works like a charm.

Mind you, our moderate seas would still be classed as flat seas just about
everywhere else. 2 metre seas are considered on the rough side here, inside
the Barrier Reef.

Best regards

The tartan 27 has a full keel, and small rudder, so it comes around a bit
more slowly.

So you're probably right, but it works good enough not to spend money
replacing it.

I have a Catalina 22 as well, (actually, I want to sell it next spring). It
has a mount and plug for an autohelm, but I've never used my autohelm on it
before. Judging by the light, quick tiller response of the Catalina 22, I'm
sure the ST1000 would work much better.

On the flip side, the longer keeled boat is easier to balence and make sail
straight with just a lashed-down tiller.

John.
