Hello, I am considering an autopilot for my Catalina 30 (1979 vintage). I plan to use the autopilot mainly for hoisting or lowering the mainsail and other activities while coming in and out of the harbor. I generally do a couple of hours of solo daysailing in good weather, i.e., under 15-20kt winds, i.e., I do not intend to use the autopilot for extensive cruising, or in heavy weather. Is the RayMarine S1 model autopilot adequate for this boat? Details can be found in the WestMarine catalog http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/producte/10001/-1/10001/248904/377%20710/0/S1/Primary%20Search/mode%20matchallpartial/0/0?N=377%20710&Ne=0&Ntt=S1&Ntk=Primary%20Search&Ntx=mode%20matchallpartial&Nao=0&Ns=0&keyword=S1&isLTokenURL=true&storeNum=null&subdeptNum=null&classNum=null Thanks Hal
