Letting "George" Steer
The autopilot is more properly called an "automatic rudder trimmer" since the sails have to be in nearly perfect balance for it to remain within the limits of its command range.
It taught me - by necessity - to steer the boat through sail balance alone before I could say: "OK, George. Your boat."
