NKE...
In Response To: Autopilots - Vendee Globe ()

I believe there is only one boat this year (Stamm) that does not have either B&G or NKE.

We bought the full NKE setup a year ago for our J/120. I picked it particularly because it was so popular for the Open 60 boats. That's what I wanted. Something good enough to steer a boat around the world fast and reliably. So far it has been fantastic. We crossed the Atlantic this summer. About 3300 miles. I steered a whole 30 miles of that. The autopilot did the rest including a few 200+ mile days and several 190+ mile days. A fantastic piece of kit.
