AP test under sail (Brian and Steve)

Note from Brian on the AP test under sail

"The AP worked very well. My buddy Steve, who is super experienced and has done the SHTP,  was aboard and was quite impressed as we reached off at a variety of angles across the Bay in 17 kt breeze with the AP steering. We then did a spin run down to Alcatraz, and followed that with a beat up the city front.   Nice winds for a test, about 12 to 18.  The changes I have made over the last two months have really smoothed out the rudder motion which translates to less power consumption."


Guessing that Serge took the picture!
