Intuitive Autopilot Control

The point of a dedicated autopilot controller is to enable immediate access to auto-steering functionality, placing key controls within easy reach. Designed with that purpose in mind, the AP44 includes an intuitive interface with just four buttons and a push-to-enter rotary control dial.

Automated Turn Patterns

Your Simrad autopilot can do much more than keep you on course. The AP44 gives you easy access to a range of built-in turn patterns designed to assist with fishing, diving, or just making a quick and efficient U-turn.

Simrad Continuum Steering

Every Simrad steering innovation builds upon a legacy encompassing over sixty years of autopilot development, which continues today at Simrad Yachting’s autopilot research hub in Norway.

Easy Setup with Auto-Tuning & Calibration

Autopilot installation and commissioning doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming. The AP44 offers automatic tuning to ensure optimal auto-steering performance, with a simple on-screen commissioning process including dockside configuration and sea trial.

NAC-3

The NAC-3 Autopilot Computer is the brain behind your autopilot system. NAC-3 contains the control algorithms developed to helm a yacht across a broad range of weather conditions and sea-states, alongside the electronics needed to operate a hydraulic or mechanical drive unit, while also interfacing with other components, including heading sensors and rudder feedback units. The NAC-3 was designed for boats 10 meters (33 feet) or greater in length and is rated to operate high-current hydraulic drives, mechanical drive units, and solenoid valves with a current rating of 30 Amps continuous (50 Amps peak).

HS65 GNSS Compass

Simplicity of a compass and a GNSS receiver in one. Heading, Rate of Turn, Pitch, Heave, and Roll. Accurate heading based on dual GNSS data, free from magnetic interference. Easy Installation with NMEA2000 connectivity, Heading derived by dead reckoning using accelerometers when the signal is lost. Supports satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS). Multiple mount options. Unique Selling Points: Heading accuracy without the restriction of magnetic interference to account for. Heading Accuracy of <2° RMS 10Hz ideal for Autopilot and MARPA applications. <90seconds cold start, Dead Reckoning for heading up 3 minutes following loss of satellite data. Position <1 Meter 10Hz Pitch/Roll Accuracy <1.5° RMS Sleek design Backup magnetic compass with <3° RMS* Heave <30CM RMS Supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BEIDOU, QZSS1 Constellation options with SBAS Options for Flush, Raised or Pole mount 640mm/2ft NMEA2000 Fly-lead Low profile mounting adaptor for various installation types.

SteadySteer™ Flow Switch

Smoother steering. Use the helm to control the autopilot for greater ease of use. Steer manually through turns - convenient manual override. Autopilot engages automatically on straight legs. Seamless and intuitive boat control. Fuzz-free autopilot operation for hydraulic steering. Navigate safely with SteadySteer, functionality for autopilot systems that allows boaters to take immediate, manual control of the vessel through turns without having to disengage the autopilot. Coming out of turns, SteadySteer automatically reengages the autopilot once a new heading is established.

Control the Autopilot with the Helm

SteadySteer automatically disengages the autopilot when you turn the vessel manually and then reengages the autopilot when you have established a new heading. No key-presses, no alarms – just turn the helm.

Less Distractions – Just Drive

No need to look at a display or push buttons to change course; merely point the bow to your destination.

For work or casual wear, this polo is a great choice.
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Port Stripe, Size: X-Large
I really like this polo. I've been wearing it once a week or every other week since November. Its very comfortable and breathable. This polo feels like it should last a while. The fit is good. I typcally wear XL and this XL fits great. I've pruchased it in both burgundy and black so far. I definitely recommend this shirt. For work or casual wear, this will look good.

Great value: These are my go-to work from home shirt
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Blue, Size: X-Large
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by these shirts and wear them weekly for Zoom calls, since I’m still working from home these days. I figured at the price point it was worth trying them out, and now I’ve bought several in different colors. They aren’t super soft, but they are comfy and look nice. I’m 6’1” ~220 pounds, and the XL slim fit still has plenty of room. I imagine the regular cut is incredibly boxy and oversized. The difference between polyester vs recycled polyester is inconsequential. I typically buy expensive golf shirts, and these definitely aren’t as nice. They are a fraction of the cost though and a great “beater” work shirt / hang out shirt. It’s nice wearing something that looks and feels decent, but if something happens to it, you can toss and it and pick up another for the cost of a chipotle burrito.

Great price, not great quality
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Black, Size: Small
Simple, straight forward all black polo. I am a size medium woman (with some room since I don't like form-fitting) and bought a men's small. Fits perfectly for my frame. Long enough to tuck in for my part-time extra weekend job uniform. Also suitable for the golf course. A little thin, and if you hold it up to light you can sort of see through it. *Not* flowy, soft and smooth fabric like a rash guard/sun shirt - more structured than that. But it's cool and does the job for the price under $10.
