[Alberg30] Tiller Pilot

[Mike Lehman]

I bought a TP100 by Navico several years ago. They're inexpensive, not sold 
under that name or brand anymore, rated for boats upto 28' (I think) but the 
A30 tracks so well when balanced that I have found it to work great for 
light-duty. Bonus: because it's smaller, it uses less current.

I'd like to get the smallest, simplest (cheapest) tiller pilot that would 
work for my Alberg 30.  I will use it very little and only when single 
handing.  I notice they all have a rating for the displacement of the boat.  
If the sails are trimmed properly, is there any reason I couldn't use a 
smaller unit.  I've practice sailing without using the tiller, only 
adjusting the sails.  The boat handles quite well with no pressure on the 
tiller.  Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
