14 ST7001+ Autopilot Control Unit - Owner’s Handbook
2 Basic Operation
• You can significantly improve course keeping by improving the
sail balance:
• do not allow the boat to heel over excessively
• ease the mainsheet traveller to leeward to reduce heeling and
weather helm
• if necessary, reef the mainsail a little early
• In very strong winds and large seas, you should avoid sailing with
the wind dead astern:
• ideally, bring the wind at least 30° away from a dead run
• in severe conditions, you may also need to remove the
mainsail and sail under headsail only
