Yo,, Captain Roger ... I got an email back from the Voyager maker. He
said the Voyager weighs 30lbs. It is his "new" model for boats up
to 32'. He said it would work fine for me. Price is $2500. That is
for a tiller boat.


His new model is five pounds lighter than the Cape Horn then. $190.00
cheaper.

Installation appears much simpler, just bolt on and run the lines. This
probably isn't a bad option for a tiller boat.

Not having extra lines in the cockpit, no unsightly drum on the wheel (a
finger and clothing catcher for the unwary), electric autopilot connection
out of the weather below deck, emergency steering via lines in case of
steering cable breakage, all make the Cape Horn a no brainer for me though.
