Nike and Flo attempt to repair a faulty Autohelm 2000 tiller pilot while anchored in Cala Canyelles, Spain, during a period of heavy Mediterranean weather.Watch The unit’s failure stems from a poor connection between the circuit board’s three contact arms and the course-setting cylinder.1:24 After cleaning the connection and reassembling the housing, the autopilot functions under load during a short two-mile passage to Lloret de Mar.3:57 The crew waits out a low-pressure system that produces gusts reaching the 50-knot range offshore, though their sheltered anchorage experiences only upper 20-knot gusts.4:35 With the autopilot operational and weather conditions improving, the crew plans a two-night passage to Ibiza to avoid an incoming storm.6:18 The transition between anchorages allows for a hike in the surrounding forest with their two dogs, Buga and her companion.5:44 Cleaning internal circuit board contacts can restore functionality to older tiller pilots experiencing intermittent power or course-setting failures.
