Simrad AP24 and AP28 Autopilots

Simrad Yachting manufactures a complete range of autopilots for all types of vessels, from recreational boats to merchant marine vessels.

An autopilot (or pilot) is a mechanical, electrical or hydraulic system which can maintain a vessel on a predetermined course without the need for human intervention. Using a direct or indirect connection with a vessel’s steering mechanism, the autopilot relieves the crew from the task of manually steering the yacht. On sailing boats certain types of autopilot can be programmed to maintain a course defined at a pre-set angle to the wind.
