Sometimes it is the boat that won't steer properly. On my first boat, a pipe dream designed by Francis Kinney, the hull balance and directional stability downwind was so abysmal that any autopilot would have been fighting a mighty battle to keep her on course.
Moving the rudder six feet further aft in New Zealand was a huge improvement, but the hull balance was still bad.
