How to Sail a Boat With an Autopilot

I'm also a huge fan of wind veins I have a different type, but if we can start the discussion on wind veins. We actually did not turn on the engine until 10 days when we were crossing the equator So our power demands were pretty low and on most points of sale the vein was steering better than the autopilot would Sorry, well what sort of boat to do were you guys sailing? It's 3,000 miles they were relying on their autopilot They lost their autopilot three days out took them 39 days to get there and we were 19 days.
