Course maintained without yaw, reliability, multifunctionality… To offer you optimal course quality, nke’s autopilots are fitted with an efficient rate gyro that constantly and accurately measures the boat’s behaviour.
This rate gyro sends the information directly to the pilot calculator, which can then instantly and carefully provide the necessary helm corrections. Effective at any speed, this device is particularly useful when running before the wind or in rough seas.
This state-of-the-art pilot guarantees you a perfect heading hold.
A reference tool: This pilot was fitted on the monohull winners of the FIGARO, VENDÉE GLOBE, ROUTE DU RHUM and MINI TRANSAT circuit… It is the reference for single handle navigation.

Approved technology: Developed for racing, the nke pilot’s energy consumption and weight were optimized when it was designed.

Optimum comfort and safety: During a VENDÉE GLOBE race, the pilot steers more than 95% of the time, under the most extreme conditions. nke guarantees you this same level of comfort and safety when cruising.
A unique offer: with the man-over-board detection system.
