Secure rope at starbord cleats on outer gunwhale. Wrap it 3 times

to dampen rope at tiller for bite. Small adjustments to course can be

<DIV><FONT face="Century Schoolbook" size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
