Simrad Yachting launches new autopilot range

Simrad Yachting has unveiled its AP70 and AP80 Autopilot adaptive heading control systems for superyachts. Both systems feature support multiple rudder and thruster configurations in both white sea and deep sea applications.

The AP70 and AP80 feature adaptive software, dynamic positioning system interface, networking with NMEA 2000 cabling, a standard mode and five special configurable work modes.


“The Simrad AP70 and AP80 raise the bar yet again for autopilot systems, as we have done with all our Autopilot Systems since the introduction of the AP1 almost sixty years ago,” says Tim Ryder, Director Professional Market. “They adapt to the environment such as wind and wave conditions, and boast a completely new and unique, colour user interface with intuitive graphics. In addition there are six independent work profile settings to quickly enable the autopilot to complete a new operation like slow speed manoeuvring, net hauling, and helicopter pick up.”

“Our autopilots are the most reliable heading control systems on the market, proven by the thousands of Simrad Yachting Autopilots that are in service today. Ship owners will experience the day-to-day benefits of lower operating costs and reduced risk provided by our cutting edge technology,” states Ryder. “To be frank, there is no other steering system that can boast the same performance, ease of installation, durability and versatility.”
