I have the same Raymarine ST1000 autopilot, it's a total game changer for solo sailing. I can cook, make coffee, and adjust/fix stuff, all while continuing to sail.
I have a newer video up from a couple weeks ago, maybe not as fast as it was super gusty and I didn't want to go in the drink ua-cam.com/video/wx3VePyB9mM/v-deo.htmlsi=bfxJPthDCbX3FY42
Hi, thanks for the view. I didn't build the boat but purchased it this spring from the second owner. It was originally built by a boat builder from the Port Townsend Wooden Boat School. It's a beautiful design and the craftsmanship of the builders attention to detail can't be missed. If you want to learn more about the boat you can visit the boat designers website, there are two versions including a non-sailing kit and a sailing kit. This has an upgraded sail system from what is called for in the original design. angusrowboats.com/pages/sailing-rowcruiser
Hey Rob - I am having an Angus RowCruiser built. We are considering using the Hobie furling sails like you have. What do you think of them? Any issues?
@@stephenboudreau7992 yes, I love them if you can source the parts. The boat can be depowered very quickly which is great for where I sail and I'm assuming what I'll encounter in the NW for WA360 and R2AK. Is yours being built in Port Townsend? I spoke to a guy up there asking questions about my Hobie setup and I sent measurements and pictures.
Holy crap. That is moving. I saw angus sailing his with an autopilot. Think that’s a great idea. And your hobie system looks like another great idea.

The hobie sail setup makes sense.
@@doclees11 I love it, you can depower very quickly as needed which is great when sailing in Colorado and Wyoming.
Nice! Did you build this boat? Thanks!
