The Simrad Wheelpilot WP32 is a self-contained automatic pilot suitable for a wide variety of wheel steered sailing yachts up to 12m (39 ft) overall length.
Combining highly sophisticated electronics with advanced software and a powerful mechanical drive, they are capable of providing reliable and accurate steering performance under a variety of different conditions with minimal current consumption.
The Wheelpilot has been designed so that, while it represents the state-of-the-art in marine autopilots with many advanced features, it remains very simple to operate, using only five keys to access all functions.
Sophisticated functions available include Steer To Wind mode and Nav mode (Steer To GPS), which use external equipment linked directly to the Wheelpilot via the SimNet high-speed bus, or through the inbuilt NMEA0183 interface.
There is also the option to operate the Wheelpilot remotely using the HR22 Hand Remote. For more details, please refer to the separate instruction card supplied with the HR22.
