Default Self Steering Windvane, question/cost/set-up

Roger,
Take a nasty pill this morning?


No, just trying to have a little fun at the expense of those too
paranoid to tell us what kind of boat they have.
(You may remember the threads where several here tried to elicite this
information so as to be able to better respond to other questions by
the OP.)

Windvanes are somewhat type specific, some only are suitable for boats
with outboard rudders, etc.

"What kind of windvane would be suitable for my Venture 22?" would be
a reasonable question. We have no idea whether the OP is in a 17 foot
trailer sailer or an 85 foot Baltic Trader so the whole exchange is a
bit pointless.

I'll admit though, it hasn't been one of my better days. I hate it
when a joke falls flat, even in cyber space.
