I have (had) an autohelm 1000. It worked fine under sail but required more sail trimming than a human helm who would put up with more weather helm.

We have used it in some fairly extreme conditions too though I don't recommend that.

I've always been reluctant to trust it for too long without being reasonably close by to takeover.
