2026 Comparison
4 računala autopilota (mozak, ne cijeli sustav) uspoređena unutar jednakih okvira: integracija ekosustava, frekvencija regulacije, Wave način (3D valovi), polarne krivulje. Elektromotor / pogonski uređaj nije uključen — dimenzionira se prema kormilu i naručuje zasebno. Preporuka radionice po programu.

Coastal
Garmin Reactor 40 Compact (699 € bez PDV-a) ili Raymarine EV-1 Evolution (925 € bez PDV-a) pokrivaju uporabu u priobalju. To su samo računalni moduli: potrebno je dodati ECU/ACU i posebno hidraulički aktuator dimenzioniran prema opterećenju broda. Garmin ima nešto bolju ocjenu za mješovitu uporabu (motor + jedrenje), dok Raymarine ima prednost u integraciji s postojećim Axiom sustavom.
Samo računalo: 699–925 € bez PDV-a. Kompletan instalirani sustav (računalo + ECU/ACU + aktuator + senzori): ~ 4 200–5 000 € bez PDV-a

B&G NAC-3 (1.731 € bez PDV-a, samo računalo) standard je naše radionice za duge izlete. Bitan je način Wave pri formiranom valu, integracija s H5000 / WS320 te besprijekorna reverzibilnost kormilar ↔ pilot. Zupčasti cilindar se dimenzionira i naručuje zasebno (B&G T1/T2 hidraulika ovisno o kormilu i opterećenju tijekom plovidbe).
Samo računalo: 1.731 € bez PDV-a. Cijeli sustav ugrađen: ~ 6.500-8.000 € bez PDV-a (cilindar + senzori + ugradnja)
View NAC-3The manufacturer states a displacement of 7.5 t, so we select Type 1. Except the boat sails with water + fuel + crew + gear = 9.5 t. The Type 1 struggles, overheats, and slams. Always size components based on actual sailing weight.
The Type 3 electromechanical autopilot costs ~ €1,000 less than the T2 hydraulic autopilot. However, in rough seas at 25 knots, the electromechanical system saturates, the autopilot cuts out, and you’re hand-steering 18 hours a day. The real-world savings are negative.
Raymarine chartplotter + Garmin autopilot = no autopilot control from the Axiom, Garmin remote control required at the cockpit. Always choose an autopilot from the same brand as the primary chartplotter (or Madintec, which is compatible with all).
Ova 4 cijena su samo računalni moduli (mozak). Za potpuno funkcionalan pilot potrebno je još i pogon / aktuator dimenzioniran prema težini broda (često najskuplji dio), eventualno jedinica za napajanje (ACU/ECU) te senzori. Računajte na cijeli sustav, a ne samo na računalni modul — pogledajte katalog pilota i pogona.
4 questions to identify the autopilot suited to your sailboat and sailing program.
Yes, via the MAD Controller Madintec interface. The Gyropilot 3 controls the B&G hydraulic T1/T2 ram without issue. This is NKE’s open flexibility.
Heavy. The CPU + wind sensors + displays must be replaced. Allow 15-25 days of work + €8,000-12,000 VAT-excluded for parts. Prefer migrating between two winter seasons.
NKE Mode Wave has been the benchmark since 2010, fine-tuned over decades of IMOCA racing. B&G caught up in 2022 with its own algorithm. In practice, NKE retains a slight edge in heavy tropical seas, while B&G excels in the English Channel and short-sea conditions.
Both systems accept ORC (Offshore Racing Congress) import in .pol format. Manual editing is recommended after each sail to fine-tune calibration (correcting real bias). NKE Toplink and B&G apps both save data by point of sail and conditions.
The autopilot draws 2-4 A continuous while cruising, 4-8 A in rough offshore conditions. Over 14 days = 1,000-3,000 Ah cumulative. Allow for a minimum of 400 Ah usable capacity dedicated to the autopilot and house loads. See our lithium battery sizing guide.
Skysat distribuira Raymarine, Garmin, B&G/Navico, NKE Marine Electronics i Madintec. Usporednik temeljen na 120+ instalacija samohodnih kormilarskih sustava 2018.-2026., za krstarenje i utrke. Cjenici bez PDV-a 2026. su indikativni i odnose se na ovlaštenog distributera — računalne jedinice se prodaju zasebno, a aktuatori / drive i senzori također moraju biti naručeni odvojeno.
