Nowadays more and more large yachts are served by smaller crews than even before. In critical situations or on longer voyages a reliable automatic steering system can be a great help. Of course it should be a reliable system from Raymarine – the worldwide market leader.

Raymarine ST1000 Plus & ST2000 Plus Tiller Pilot

The Raymarine ST1000 Plus and ST2000 Plus are advanced tiller autopilots designed specifically for sailing yachts and tiller boats. These devices offer reliable and precise control, ideal for coastal use. With their integration into modern navigation systems via SeaTalk and NMEA 0183, they are the perfect choice for demanding sailors.

Functions and features

• Four operating modes: Standby, Auto, Track, WindTrim


• AutoTack: Automatic tacking/heading change for wind manoeuvres


• AutoSeastate / Deadband control: Adaptation to sea state to minimise course deviations and save energy


• Integrated fluxgate compass: Reliable course measurement with compass deviation correction


• Waypoint tracking: Use of waypoints in track mode when connected to a navigator


• Alarm in case of course deviation: Warning in case of prolonged course deviations above a defined threshold


• Adjustable display brightness: Possibility to switch off the lighting

Limitations and notes

• Recommended use only in coastal operation, not suitable for offshore or long-distance sailing


• The displacements stated refer to fully loaded boats; often 20% more must be taken into account for realistic maximum values


• Performance reduction in strong winds and heavy seas, especially with smaller models or heavily loaded vessels


• Mechanical connection Tiller-Pin / Pushrod; quality of assembly and positioning are decisive for reliability
