[Alberg30] Tiller Pilot

[John Bailey]

I use two adjustable bungee cords now.  They work quite well for short trips to the bow to work sails.  However, up here in the short steep waves of the Mackinaw Straits, the boat gets bounced around too much.  I need a little more time to change sails.  Also, I want the cheapest because I would consider what ever I get temporary while I  learn.  Later I would buy a more expensive unit when I decide how I will use it and what I want.

  I don't believe Yves advertises the "Cheapest" on the market. There are several that are hundreds of dollars cheaper. Capehorn is the BEST for an Alberg 30 (at least) since it is designed for and intergrated into the design of the Alberg 30.

    Hi John:
    I have been looking at a windvane which seems to be the perfect solution. Check out www.capehorn.com They claim that they have the cheapest and most efficient on the market. They put out a video which shows a single handed 28,000 mile circumnavigation in an Alberg 30. During the whole of the 100 minute presentation the windvane does all the steering. It is even claimed to be efficient in wing on wing light air situations. I plan on ordering one in the future. Each one is built to fit the boat it is going to be installed on and is guaranteed for 28,000 miles or one circumnavigation.
