MADBrain Super-pilot Modes

The MADBrain Modes Super-pilote software pack is a software upgrade designed for the MADBrain autopilot system. It unlocks all functions of the Elite Performance Pack, providing advanced autopilot capabilities inspired by offshore racing.

The MADBrain Modes Super-pilote software package enhances your boat's capabilities by enabling the autopilot to anticipate and steer actively for maximum speed rather than simply maintaining a heading. It uses artificial intelligence algorithms and ultra-precise data acquisition for unmatched heading stability and remarkable responsiveness, even in extreme conditions.

The MADBrain's Super-pilot modes use cutting-edge artificial intelligence algorithms and ultra-precise data acquisition from the MADBrain processor. This technology enables ultra-fine real wind calculation (up to 50 Hz) and advanced boat attitude analysis via a high-precision proprietary inertial measurement unit, allowing unique trajectory anticipation.

Yes, the MADBrain, with its Super-pilote modes, guarantees unmatched course stability. It processes real-time data with high precision and reacts instantly to wind shifts, swell, or boat behavior changes, applying subtle corrections to prevent overreaction and ensure smooth, precise course holding.

Yes, thanks to its optimized control and extreme precision in rudder adjustments, the MADBrain places less demand on the steering system. Every movement is optimized for stability and control without unnecessary effort, resulting in reduced energy consumption by the hydraulic ram—particularly noticeable over long distances.

The MADBrain, with its Super-pilot modes, is designed to deliver uncompromising autopilot reliability, even in the most extreme conditions. It actively adapts to wind and boat dynamics, ensuring smooth, balanced, and reassuring steering. It senses the boat's behavior and reacts in harmony with the elements, providing more comfortable and stable navigation in gusts or rough seas.

The MADBrain no longer merely reacts: it anticipates. Inspired by the techniques of top offshore racing skippers, it functions like an experienced crew member, sensing your boat's behavior and adapting to your sailing style. This anticipatory capability is a key feature of the Super-pilot modes.

No, using the MADBrain Modes Super-pilote software pack does not require any additional subscription after purchase. It is a one-time purchase that permanently unlocks the features.

Yes, the MADBrain is designed for continuous evolution. The software can receive ongoing updates to improve performance and add new features over time.

The MADBrain Modes Super-pilote stems from over 10 years of experience and victories in offshore racing. The technology has been tested by top skippers on demanding circuits such as IMOCA, Ocean Fifty, Ultim, Class40, and Mini 6.50, ensuring a reliable and high-performance solution.

Yes, although derived from offshore racing, MADBrain technology is accessible to all sailors and widely adopted across a broad range of boats, including cruising catamarans, IRC monohulls, and superyachts. It is aimed at demanding sailors seeking to maximize the performance of their sailboat.

The MADBrain Modes Super-pilote software pack is performance-oriented. The MADBrain system, on which it is based, integrates high-level safety functions. For a specific heel control safety function, the "Heel Security Pack" is available separately and complements the autopilot's capabilities.

The MADBrain system, essential to this software's operation, performs ultra-fine true wind calculations. This capability stems from the America’s Cup and the Vendée Globe, with high-frequency data acquisition reaching up to 50 Hz. This enables highly precise wind data analysis for optimal sailing.

Yes, the "Smart speed" function is one of the features of the Super-pilot modes. It contributes to optimizing speeds and trajectories, allowing the autopilot to actively seek the maximum speed of your sailboat.

The MADBrain Modes Super-pilote software pack is designed to work with the MADBrain navigation processor. It is a software that enhances the capabilities of an existing MADBrain system, not a standalone system.

Yes, the MADBrain system on which this software pack is installed provides native integration with the NMEA 2000 network. This enables plug-and-play installation via the CAN bus and extended compatibility with other equipment.

Yes, the MADBrain system is compatible with standard market sensors and displays. It uses data from these devices, such as GPS, compasses, multifunction displays, and speed/depth transducers, to feed its autopilot algorithms, including those for Super-pilot modes.

Yes, the MADBrain system is designed to be compatible with major brands on the market via the NMEA 2000 network. This includes equipment from brands such as B&G (ZG100, Precision 9, Zeus), Garmin (24XD, SteadyCast, GPSMAP/TD50) and Raymarine (EV-1, Axiom), as well as Airmar sensors.

The MADBrain Modes Super-pilote pack is a software. Its installation is performed as an update or activation on an existing MADBrain navigation processor. Integration is straightforward with no additional complexity, and the system is designed for ease of use via the MADLight application.
