Hi, After many years of enjoying (and fixing/upgrading) my C&C 29 I have am upgrading to a 38 Landfall. I few years ago I installed an X-5 wheel autopilot on my 29-1. The old specs for the X-5 put a 38LF right near the upper limits. I am planning on moving the X-5 over to the 38LF before selling the 29-1. Does anyone have any experience with how the X-5 performs on a 38 Landfall under sail? I am sure it would perform fine under engine power, and I have learned with a tender vessel like a 29-1, that good sail balance is key to a happy autopilot performance, so I would think that giving the stiffer sailing characteristics of the 38LF that the X-5 may perform fairly ok. Input from 38LF autopilot users is greatly welcomed.
yours very truly, - Paul E. 1979 C&C 29 Mk1 ( 1981 C&C 38LF ) S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
