Also, Current Marine 46 has Madintec autopilot (as on most IMOCAs) with self-learning (the more the boat sails, the better it performs)

Safety
The responsiveness and learning capability of the Madintec autopilot ensures highly effective steering which adds to safety as well. The more the boat sails under autopilot, the more efficient and safer it becomes.

Kick-up rudders offer plenty of safety advantages:
- allow both rudders to be lifted up independently either in case of collision with a UFO (unidentified floating object)
- in case of a whale attack the crew can lift up the rudders completely
- for minor repairs the rudders lifted and even removed super easily
All standard safety equipment is foreseen, including EPIRB, liferaft, etc
