The Autopilot on Invictus is a unit built by SHARP many years ago. The drive motor is indeed coupled to the steering shaft by a motorcycle chain and it works very well.

If you look at the picture of Invictus in the owners section you will see the RVG wind vane on the stern. This old system works very well too but you must remember to remove the small sail before a tack... the mizzen will wipe it out.
