Keegan, The only problem with your survey is that it will tell you who does the best marketing with their autopilot and not necessarily which is best used for what conditions. Folks that never leave the bay and only sail on weekends will find almost any pilot satisfactory. Those that make long offshore passages will in many instances use wind vanes. also autopilots I suppose. having said this we have had a WH Autopilots installed for several years with extensive cruising both offshore in coastal. The pilot has never failed, steers better than the crew and we have not yet encountered conditions it won't steer in.
