What kind of autopilot should I get for my cd25? I am a new dad, so I will be singlehanding while Mom takes care of our precious cargo. Any advice would be appreciated.

I use an Autohelm ST1000 for my CD25. It's very handy and works well in light to moderate winds. I don't know that any autopilot will work in heavy winds. I reef early and often with my little one on board.

I have had a NAVICO TP1600 on my CD27 for the past eight years.
It was easy to install. It is easy to operate, and it works
well under most conditions. NAVICO's current version of this
"tillerpilot" would probably work well on a CD25.

Good luck.
