It steers the world's fastest sailboats

For more than ten years, MADBrain Autopilot has been chosen to steer IMOCA, ULTILMS, and CLASS 40 boats in offshore racing. Renowned for its uniqueness and accuracy, it is now installed on more than 500 monohulls, multihulls, and prototypes, from IRC regattas to ocean cruising.

After sailing more than 5,000 miles in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and the Caribbean, we are truly impressed by the quality of MADBrain Autopilot. We sailed with complete confidence.

We’re just a few hours away from arriving in Grenada, and I’d like to thank Madintec for their help and support. MADBrain Autopilot has been exceptional—nothing but positive—and the Performance feature works wonders!

I'm absolutely loving it, and it's exceeding my expectations. I've now had a chance to test it in all kinds of conditions, and it has handled everything I've thrown at it.

I'm very happy—we had a 40-nautical-mile upwind leg, and with the sail set to AWA, it was truly impressive how the boat maintained a consistently high speed even at a low AWA. So thank you for all your support so far; with the new 3Di genoa, she feels like a brand-new boat.

It’s not an IMOCA and I’m not in a race, but from southern Sardinia to Monastir we covered 300 miles under gennaker with 20–22-knot winds and rough seas… the Autopilot is a beast! Thank you for all your hard work—congratulations to the team!

Benefit

Take on an exceptional crewmate who never gets tired

Safety

Reliable handling, even in rough seas

Immediate and precise response when the boat needs it

Comfort

Anticipate maneuvers for less roll and yaw

A more stable boat, less strain on the crew over time

Performance

Better maintenance of average speed with a controlled rudder angle

Less effort on the actuator and lower energy consumption

Precision

Tangible benefits from the very first sailing

A surprising change in behavior

Predictive and consistent steering, with an actuator that makes subtle corrections rather than overcompensating. The boat stays on course, especially when conditions become challenging.

Smart, autonomous management

Continuous adaptation to changes in wind, sea conditions, and the boat’s attitude. MADBrain intervenes earlier and modulates its commands with high responsiveness and angular precision to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Simplicity

Intuitive and easy to use

The MADLight app on all your screens

MADBrain can be viewed and controlled via the multifunction displays of major brands, as well as from a computer, tablet, or smartphone. You'll find an intuitive interface no matter which device you use.

Settings streamlined to focus on what really matters

You have access to essential settings, such as the responsiveness of the Autopilot and wind filtering. This allows you to control the basics of how it performs, while it takes care of everything else.

Versatility

Two configuration profiles

Cruising

To sail safely with a small crew, and over long distances

Performance

Hardware and software configured for maximum performance
Compatibility

Designed for first mount and refit installations

Keep your existing sensors and instruments in place

MADBrain communicates with the main NMEA 2000 sensors, instruments, and multifunction displays. This allows compatible equipment to be retained and integrated into the new system.

A setup tailored to your program

Madintec modules and software functions are selected in consultation with the owner, the construction site, or the installer to ensure seamless integration.
