Has anyone solved the autopilot problem with an HP?
As much as I'm a fan of tiller steering, handling two tillers far apart adds a challenge. Some purists may disagree, but I believe an autopilot is as mandatory as GPS on a bluewater sail, especially if single handed.
Curious if anyone has managed to get a reversible autopilot working well with the daggerboard rudders on an HP?
Thinking two hydraulic arms for steering both ridders simultaneously connected to something like a seastar helm and autopilot pump... flip the heading sensor 180 after a shunt? And the pump wires? Or use an open center hydraulic valve to reverse the hydraulics (advantage of valve is having a neural gear to free the tilers for hand use)
Have had hydraulic steering and autopilot pump before and it worked flawlessly.. so pretty confident in the reliability and maintenance of it.
