The windvanes are great for long passages, but since you've got a
tiller, if I were you, I get myself a tiller pilot.

I should have said that I get the tiller pilot also. I'm afraid that I
didn't make that clear in my earlier post and it could have been
construed to be that I was recommending against the windvane. I am not.
I would strongly recommend that you have BOTH a tiller pilot and a
windvane. Not only does the tiller pilot make it easier to go forward
when single handing, but when the wind dies and you choose to motor, the
windvane is of no use, so if unless you want to hand steer, you'll need
the TP.

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear the first time
