Trip length:
1 day
Type of watercraft:
Sail
Windvanes too expensive, tiller pilot doable, but I like the idea of using things I already have on the boat. Have played in the past a couple times using this system for downwind and it worked quite well. Now trying it out for upwind or beam reach sailing. My Catalina 27 will sail upwind with sails balanced and a bungee restricting the tiller movements, however anthing broader than a close reach, not so much. Broad reach or running, not at all.
