B&G H5000 Pilot Computer – Performance Sailing Autopilot CPU with Wind, Heading & Waypoint Steering

The B&G H5000 Pilot Computer is a high-performance autopilot CPU engineered specifically for sailing, combining dedicated steering modes with advanced sailing algorithms proven in demanding offshore conditions. Built to complement the B&G H5000 performance network, the H5000 Pilot Computer integrates seamlessly into your onboard system—ideal for short-handed cruisers, racers, and solo sailors who need reliable, intelligent control.

Developed in the Grand Prix sailing arena and refined for performance sailing, this pilot features specialized response logic including Gust Response, Recovery, and High Wind Response to help maintain control and course accuracy when conditions change quickly. With selectable steering modes, the H5000 Pilot Computer can steer to Heading, Wind, or Waypoint, allowing you to optimize performance and safety whether you’re trimming for speed, navigating a route, or holding a steady course in rough water.

For sailors chasing maximum efficiency under sail, the H5000 Pilot Computer supports AWA and TWA steering, with the ability to steer to Apparent, True, or Polar wind modes—helping deliver consistent performance across varying wind angles and sea states. Auto response switching and recovery mode improve course keeping as conditions build, giving you smoother, smarter steering when it matters most.
