The Gyropilot
The first pilot with an incorporated gyrometer for an optimum course maintenance.
Maintenance of the course without windings, reliability, multifunctionality.... In order to give you an optimum course quality, nke equip their autopilots with a gyrometer that is an extremely high performance device and measures the boat performance permanently and precisely.
This gyrometer directly provides information to the junction box controlling the steering making instantaneous and precisely measured steering adjustments. This high performance device is useful at every point of sail in every sea condition. At the forefront of technology, the Gyropilot ensures you a rectilinear course whatever the effect of the elements.
Used by Roland Jourdain, winner of the Transat Jacques Vabre and Orma World Champion.

Safety Systems
For your own and your crew's safety, nke has developed a device that detects a man falling overboard. Tested in the most extreme conditions, this safety system is made up of one or several extremely light portable transmitters. The device is worn around the neck or arm and linked to a universal radio receiver fitted on the boat. When the device is manually or automatically triggered, an alarm is set off on the boat, and position information is transmitted to the boat and displayed on the navigation displays. The crew can then set a pick-up course, no matter what conditions prevail.
Transmitter
- Gyropilot remote control
- TL 25 multifunction remote control
- Crew transmiter recommended for crew members or children whilst cruising
Receiver
