[Public-List] Tiller pilots

[Jay Davenport via Public-List]

I find that I can use it under moderate sail conditions if I am properly trimmed out. But most of the time while under sail I prefer to hand steer. Then there was that 5 hour steady beam reach from Solomons towards Onancock ....  Jay Davenport
