What is the benefit of the CPT if I only intend to use my autopilot for motoring in mild conditions?
No one intends to use their autopilot when sea and wind conditions get rough; many people plan on using a windvane. Use of an autopilot is a great help while setting up your windvane and making adjustments. But when you are short handed, sleep deprived, and unexpected emergencies come up, why not have an autopilot that can handle it?
