Wow, I’d like to learn more about your sheet to tiller steering.  Where are you in Louisiana?  Thanks for your input!

I mostly just use it as a third hand to steer or lock the tiller when raising, lowering or reefing the mainsail. I use sheet-to-tiller steering when sailing (tracks the apparent wind vs compass). Takes some initial effort but once you get the hang of it it works great on any course but a dead run and in winds up to about 20 mph. Daniel SwordsSolitude #525Lake Pontchartrain
