Flying Scott I'd like to know why as well. My tiller always made my neck and back go stiff after a short time. Well, I had a stiff neck to begin with... I suppose it comes from dinghy sailing--I just like the immediacy of a tiller, not least its value as an instant vernier on rudder position, both visual and pressure. Also, almost all the sailboats I've had at least passing experience with have been small and a wheel, as well as being an expensive complication, is an aunnecessary one. Conversely, most wheeling has been in power vessels--the best being river houseboats where helm response was not a design requirement, though unmanageable windage is. ANd my wheels fell off long ago, so I suppose there's an envy quotient in there too. -- Flying Tadpole ------------------------- http://www.ace.net.au/schooner http://www.soundclick.com/flyingtadpolemusic.htm |
