What To Do If Your Autopilot Fails Offshore

In this episode, we take a look at what to do if your autopilot stops working, at least to give you enough time to make a repair. I have used this technique for thousands of miles on 60 ft plus boats, and so far, so good. The only requirements are a basic understanding of sailing and a sail tie. After that, we take a look around the boat and, as always, chat about what's going on. Support the Westabout voyage!

One of the most commonly referenced authors from the first half of the 20th century has to be Weston Martyr, and the book everyone compliments is 'The Southseaman'.
