2.0 SAILING WITH YOUR WINDPILOT

2.1 WINDPILOT SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

−

The pendulum rudder shaft is long enough to provide plenty of leverage for the
pendulum rudder.

−

The bevel gear linkage on the pendulum rudder module is working properly to
provide automatic yaw damping.

−

The system is sensitive in light airs but powerful in stronger wind conditions.

−

The pendulum rudder and auxiliary rudder modules are properly matched.

−

The effective angular range of the auxiliary rudder from side to side is sufficient
to handle the course corrections required.

−

The PACIFIC PLUS is correctly positioned on the transom.

−

The system has adequate leverage (i.e. is sufficiently far from the boat’s centre of
lateral resistance).

−

Weather helm and any other consistent imbalances in the boat’s trim are
compensated for by the position of the main rudder and the PACIFIC PLUS is
free to concentrate on transient course corrections.

2.2 SAILING WITH YOUR WINDPILOT: QUICK GUIDE

−

Bring the boat onto course.

−

Lock the main rudder in position.

−

Lower the pendulum rudder blade into the water.

−

Fix the windvane hanger on centre with catch 133.

−

Loosen coupling 523 and pivot it aft until it is fully engaged.

−

Retighten the coupling.

−

CAUTION: check that the indicators on the two gear segments are aligned
correctly.

−

Release the windvane catch.

−

Fit the windvane.

−

Set the windvane into the wind (it should stand upright).

−

Fine trim the course by adjusting the position of the main rudder.

−

Make large course adjustments either by hand or using the remote control.

2.3 SAILING WITH YOUR WINDPILOT: COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE

2.3.1 SYSTEM NOT IN USE

−

Keep the pendulum rudder blade in the lift-up position.

−

Remove the windvane.

−

Centre the windvane hanger with catch 133.

−

Pivot coupling lever 523 forward (towards the boat) and tighten it down to lock
the auxiliary rudder on centre.

2.3.2 PREPARING FOR USE

−

Bring the boat onto course and check your sail trim.

−

Lock the main rudder in position (see 1.5.9 Setting the Main Rudder).

−

NOTE: ensure that the boat sails straight once the main rudder is locked in
position. It will normally be necessary to lock the rudder slightly off-centre to
counter the persistent effects of weather helm etc.
