Description

Starting life as Nautech/Autohelm nearly 30. Some of the features you will find in Autohelm pilots from Raymarine. Manual course change to. May 29, 2013 I'm on board! (and looking 4 an old nautech autohelm 2000 manual) Hi guys, I also become an owner of an old Nautech Autohelm 2000 - like described. Sorry Charles; but definately an AutoHelm 2000, c1984. I have the Service Manual sitting in front of me on the desk. The electronics (tub) was identical to the model called 3000 (for wheel steering) at the time. The big problem was water ingress to the 'tub' controll unit if mounted in an exposed position, resulting in corrossion on the circuit.

An Installation and Operating Handbook for the Autohelm 3000 autopilot system taken on board BLACKMORES FIRST LADY during Kay Cottee's voyage in 1987-88 when she became the first woman to sail alone, non-stop and unassisted around the world.
Kay Cottee took four Autohelm 3000s on the journey and one Autohelm 6000.
SignificanceBLACKMORES FIRST LADY was the yacht sailed by Kay Cottee when she became the first woman to sail alone around the world non-stop, in a voyage that took in both hemispheres to qualify as an official circumnavigation. The yacht illustrates the technical and personal preparations Cottee made to take herself and the yacht around the world. As her refuge, home and saviour, the yacht and its contents, capture Kay Cottee's daily life experienced alone at sea, including the mundane and extraordinary.

HistoryBLACKMORES FIRST LADY was the yacht sailed by Kay Cottee AO on her voyage around the world in 1987-1988, when she became the first woman to complete a circumnavigation as a solo, non-stop and unassisted passage. The stock design was modified by Cottee herself with the intention of undertaking this challenge. The yacht was acquired by the Australian National Maritime Museum in 2000 and returned to its arrangement for the voyage, then put on display inside the museum in the Watermarks Gallery.
BLACKMORES FIRST LADY's record making voyage spanned 6 months, leaving Sydney on the 29th of November 1987 and returning on the 5th of June 1988. As she crossed the line inside the harbour marking the completion of the voyage Cottee was surrounded by well-wishers aboard a vast number of vessels who had come out to cheer her home, including a fire tug creating a huge fountain of water. It was a yet another cause for celebration as part of the country's Bicentennial year, and gained her national and international recognition.
Kay Cottee came from a sailing family, the Mclarens, and sailed many miles with them aboard their home built Tasman Seabird yacht JOY TOO. After leaving school she continued to be involved with yachts as an owner and builder, and then with her own charter business based at Pittwater, north of Sydney.
BLACKMORES FIRST LADY is a production Cavalier 37, designed by New Zealander Laurie Davidson. The yacht is 11.3 metres long, and the mast height is almost 15 metres above the deck. It was a class Cottee knew well, she already owned another Cavalier 37 as part of the charter fleet. Planning ahead for the eventual voyage, Cottee bought the bare fibreglass hull and fitted it out herself, strengthening the hull and deck in various places so that it was better suited to open ocean sailing in the most severe conditions. It was first named JIMMY MAC after Cottee's father. However in a sponsorship arrangement with the Sydney based pharmaceutical company Blackmores Laboratories, owned by yachting enthusiast Marcus Blackmore, the yacht was renamed CINNAMON SCRUB after one of the company products. In a gradual process Cottee built up her confidence in the boat and her credentials for the voyage by sailing in a two-handed race to New Zealand then sailing in the solo event back to Australia.
Blackmores upgraded their support to a full corporate arrangement midway through 1987, and the boat was renamed BLACKMORES FIRST LADY. Cottee was then able to concentrate on the final fitout and provisioning before the departure, timed to take in a summer passage through the southern oceans and around Cape Horn. Significant changes were made to the standard Cavalier 37 configuration. The mast and rigging were made stronger, the sloop rig modified to a cutter, increasing the range of headsail options to suit strong conditions, an extra water-tight bulkhead added in the forward compartment, while radar and solar panels were mounted on a frame over the cockpit. Below decks navigation and communications equipment were installed in the aft cabin, and a diesel generator was located in the saloon. When it came to supplies, the large quantities of canned food were stowed where ever space permitted.
BLACKMORES FIRST LADY left in a well publicized departure enjoying mild conditions as Kay Cottee settled into the long voyage ahead. Quite quickly this changed as the Tasman Sea lived up to its reputation for frequent rough conditions. Only a few days into the voyage, BLACKMORES FIRST LADY was knocked down by big seas, and the main damage was the loss of the wind-powered generator. This was unsettling for Cottee as it had happened so early in the voyage, but the yacht had recovered and proven capable of withstanding a major incident. More dramas followed with severe storms on the passage across the southern Pacific, and then again coming through the Indian Ocean.
During the voyage she remained in radio contact with supporters and family ashore and often established short term exchanges with radio operators on passing ships. One serious issue was when the boom cracked, but her practical background enabled her to fix the spar on the boat by improvising a sleeve and splint, and continue under full sail. The repair remained secure throughout the voyage. It is still sound and holding the spar together.
Kay Cottee was recognised for her achievement when she was named Australian of the Year early in 1989, and also awarded an Order of Australia. The record as ' First non-stop, singlehanded circumnavigation by woman' is listed with the world authority for sailing records, the World Speed Sailing Record Council. Her point to point route included sailing north into the Atlantic Ocean well above the equator to fulfil the proper definintion of a true circumnavigation of the world.
In the year following her return Cottee wrote a book about the voyage entitled 'First Lady, A history making solo voyage around the world', (MacMillan 1989), and BLACKMORES FIRST LADY became her cruising boat. In 2000 the yacht was acquired by the Australian National Maritime Museum as part of the National Maritime Collection. It is now on display in the Watermarks Gallery at the Museum building in Darling Harbour. The yacht has been fitted out to how it was configured during the voyage, and visitors are able to go aboard and see first hand what living conditions were like for Kay Cottee as she sailed BLACKMORES FIRST LADY solo around the world into the record books.

Monika after story easter eggs. Autohelm, the UK autopilot and instrument manufacturer who were bought by Raytheon in the 1990s and then evolved in to what is now Raymarine, developed their own instrument interface called SeaTalk. After NMEA0183, this is probably the most common network found on boats and there are still tens, possibly hundreds of thousands of boats around the world that have a SeaTalk network onboard.

Our Sonar Server cannot connect directly to a SeaTalk network but there are usually one or two NMEA0183 outputs in the Autohelm, Raytheon or Raymarine system where our Sonar Server can be connected to. Take the system below, most Multi-Function Displays have an NMEA port on them or perhaps the system has one of the SeaTalk to NMEA interface boxes (P/No E85001) which has an NMEA Ouput or an RS232 Output, either of which can be connected to our Sonar Server – click here for wiring diagram for the SeaTalk to NMEA interface.

Originally the Autohelm ST50 Tridata and Multi instruments had an NMEA0183 Output and this was also true for the ST50+ range – for an ST50 or ST50+ instrument wiring diagram click here.

By the time the ST60 range was released, the only instrument to have an NMEA0183 Output was the Multi instrument and when the ST60+ came out just the Graphic Display instrument had an NMEA0183 Output – for an ST60 or ST60+ instrument wiring diagram click here.

There were also a number of Autohelm/Raytheon Chart Plotters and the popular Pathfinder range of MFDs (RC530, RL70, RL80C, etc.) that all had NMEA Outputs, that would transmit the SeaTalk Instrument data.
