Okay, Doug. Please describe the windvane setup on your own sailboat. Oh,
you
don't have a windvane OR a sailboat? Well, can you then describe the
windvane on
a sailboatt you USED to have? Oh, you've never had a sailboat with a
windvane?
Okay... What's that Doug? You say that your crusing in sailboats
consisted of
dragging a Hunter 19 on a trailer down the highway? WOW!

Charlie ,, you are a cruel man ... but I must say I am laughing out
loud. Old DSK must be smoking after your posting.

Rig for ramming speed.

I have been making progress in the self steering department ....

It seems that the sheet to tiller self steering is not the best system,
but if it will work for a short time, that is all I need.

I have read lots and lots of info on the wind vane, very interesting
reading. While some swear by them, others go on and on about the
problems of weight, blah blah blah ... I might even get one some time
but I am not in need of one at this time.

See ya


I trust you found this page: http://snipurl.com/10k80 ?
Several good links about halfway down, also.
