SAILING BY AUTOPILOT:
• IMPORTANT - depending on wind and wave conditions, using Autopilot in winds
exceeding 10 m/sec (20 knots) true wind is difficult and not recommendable.
• Autopilot can be used in stronger winds, but only when reefed even more
conservatively than the sail to wind diagram.
• Quorning Boats cannot be held responsible for any damages or problems caused by
sailing using Autopilot, as this at times can be unreliable.
• When using Autopilot, keep a good look out, as this boat moves faster than other
conventional yachts – not all other yachts are familiar with how fast these boats can
move.
• Make sure that your Autopilot has been calibrated before use.
• The Autopilot is not calibrated neither from Quorning Boats nor from the shop,
where you have bought it.
• Always, sail more conservative and with less active sails when sailing using
autopilot.
• We do NOT recommend sailing with spinnaker and autopilot at the same time
unless you go deep downwind.
• Check always you have enough power on the batteries when using autopilot.
