Soon to go into production (and about time too) a design I drew up some years back of a self steering gear,suitable for yachts to around 35 feet (11.6mtrs) the design has its own rudder,so in the event of the boats main rudder or steering failure,you have a back up.In effect you actually set the boat up to sail its self,there is no point in making the self steering gear work overtime. Once your desired course is set,all thats required is to lock the vanes gear in place,the wind vane and the auxiliary rudder system will already be in the right position, from then on its down to simple fine adjustments that are provided.
Manufacture starts next week,enquiries are invited at http://www.ckdboats.com/ you can find an email link and phone number there.
