Wheeldrive Autopilot

Hi Everybody.
I need a Wheeldrive autopilot for my 30 feet wooden classic sailboat.
Simrad or Navico wp 5000 fits best to my system I think. But other brands in smilar characteristics are also okey. My wheel turns 5.5 times lock to lock and I have wooden classic wheel.
I can also think about complete hydroulic inboard autopilot systems.
If someone there have something like this I can buy it today.
If there are people desiring to replace their old system, they can sell their autopilots to me.
I can make the payment via paypal and you send it to me after you received the payment. I am currently living in Istanbul/Turkey.
you can contact me in my e-mail muratakturk@hotmail.com if you want.
I will need the autopilot for the Blacksea trip that I am planning to make in July 2011.
I thank you inadvance for your help.

Best Regards

Murat Akturk

Re: Wheeldrive Autopilot

Here is some photos of my boat. I took them when I was painting the boat 4 months ago.
I changed the name of my boat sometime ago, It's name was 'Free' I changed it with my mothers name :-) I will try to put some more pictures. I paint it White. It was darkblue before.

Re: Wheeldrive Autopilot

The House behind my boat is my home :-) This is somewhere in Bosphorus. I have 1-2 more places for mooring free of charge for the people visiting here :-)

CPT?

Have you considered a CPT autopilot? The cost new may be cheaper than some of the better known brands new.

I doubt that you would have sufficient time to measure, buy, receive, fit and test an autopilot before the end of summer.

Maybe a few trips before winter sets in...

Re: Wheeldrive Autopilot

I also doubt :-) I checked the cpt before but price is very high for me 1800 USD. and I will most probably have to pay %30 additional tax here in turkey+ Shipping fees. I am not travelling to far places normally because of my business. But if I can't find something than I go without autopilot :-)

Re: Wheeldrive Autopilot

Thank you verymuch Darly. I asked the friend that I bought the boat but he didn't know anything about the designer. I think this boat is the only copy available in this design in Turkey. I did not see another one.
Turkey is very good in building all kind of boats. For example: Maltese Falcon is built in Turkey.
The best boat yard I know in building wooden sailboats is cobana boat yard in Blacksea coast of Turkey. Here is it's link. Home Page
I hope it helps you. If you need more help, I am ready to help you.
Which name you Like? FREE :-)
I liked that name very much really :-)
Best Regards
Murat
