Default Sheet to Tiller self steering question .. ??

Tom (or whatever),

You forgot to include the link in your post. These kinds of self
steering rigs are very finicky, the king of thing you try to jury rig
after your real wind vane steerer breaks and you are facing days of
steering you hadn't planned on.

Some very long keeled boat can work pretty well with them but they
won't work very well on your Bristol 32, even if you don't sell it.

Give my regards to Captain Winchandle when you see him

Found this info on the net, all about sheet to tiller self steering.
Since I have a tiller ,,

I read and re-read the web site info for the sheet to tiller set
up.. I still can't understand it. The pictures don't help and
there are no
diagrams.

Figured one of you could explain better or send me to a site that
shows diagrams, and pictures that actually show the set up.
