I sailed my Pearson Triton from American Samoa to Hawaii with only sheet to tiller steering due to my windvane being broken. It only worked when the wind was forward of the beam, but that didn't matter because it was a beat to windward the whole way!

I used a sheet to tiller system for a 5000 mile voyage around the South Western Pacific nearly 50 years ago. Works better with a longish keel. If you use a storm jib as your steering sail then when the weather gets bad you already have your storm jib up and it still works to steer you. System doesn’t work downwind and certainly not under power. The little yellow bird was fantastic.

Thanks for the comment! Yes, downwind is tricky. I have gotten it to work broad reaching quite well. a beam reach is always a bear on my boat though.

Thank you for this video. I live on an Alberg 30 and have been using sheet-to-tiller self steering for several years. I sail single handed several times every week and still it took me many months and much trial and error practice to become proficient. This has become one of my most useful and rewarding seamanship skills. A shame is that a few hours of (unavailable) instruction could save months of trial and error learning. Sheet-to-tiller has also taught me to be a better sailor because now I am much more attentive to having a balanced helm and strive to use the rudder more as a trim tab than a barn door. BTW: speargun rubbers and wishbone inserts make excellent elastics.

Awesome! Thanks. I am thinking about making another animation video with more detail at some point since this one was so well received. If you could leave a review on the book after you read it on amazon that would be great, I don't have many and someone left a one star review saying that it was just a rehash of info widely available on the internet. It makes my book look bad. The point of the book is to make it easier to figure out sheet to tiller while you're actively trying to make it work, so of course the information is other places as well, but the book is meant to make it easier to actively learn how to use it. Which can be hard to do while sailing because it can be quite unintuitive. Thanks for your support I appreciate it!

@@sheettotiller okay, thank you. You did a nice job as far as I can tell. I was hoping there was a way to sail through a storm using sheet to tiller

@sheettotiller Жыл бұрын

@@jackshort2033 In this sort of situation sheet to tiller is not so good for a couple reasons, sheet to tiller likes long spells of constant, good wind. It suffers from lack of wind or gusty/changing wind. With squally days like that, there is usually little wind followed by heavy wind and rain from the squall, finally ending in light wind again. so it would be extremely annoying to use sheet to tiller, although possible.

Tying up the autopilot is not a good idea, if you need to regain manual helm quickly its go a tame time. Can you use a velcro strap for a quick release instead?

@jojomaguwa Жыл бұрын

I set mine up with a loop of shock cord that is attached to the AP using a stainless steel hose clamp. The loop then passes down around the side of the tiller and hooks on a small wooden knob I glued to the tiller directly under the tiller pin. The loop has a tab that hangs down so I can grab it and pull it off quickly. Works great! Quick to set and remove it. 🤙⛵️

Great point! However, all i have to do is lift up on the tiller pilot and it comes off, getting it to stay on is more of a problem, its got issues.

@theosphilusthistler712 Жыл бұрын

Sorry but this doesn't appear to make any sense at all. By apparent wind are you referring to angle or speed? Why is the boom moving? If someone is doing that they can be steering. As apparent wind moves forward (luffing) that reduces not increases pressure on the sails. Max pressure on sails/sheets is perpendicular to the wind. I'm sure it works but I don't see that this explains how.

@sheettotiller Жыл бұрын

the sail never reaches the point of luffing. As the apparent wind increases (the boat goes upwind more) the sail has more power. More wind = more power. So the sail experiences more wind from an increase in apparent wind and it pulls on the sheet harder and moves the tiller to cause the boat to head to leeward. As the bow falls off the wind (goes more downwind) the apparent wind decreases, and loses power. Since it loses power it is pulling less on the tiller and the bungee overpowers the control line moving the tiller to bring the boat back up into the apparent wind. It's all a balance. The way you are thinking about it is how I originally thought it worked, but it's all about apparent wind.

@theosphilusthistler712 Жыл бұрын

@@sheettotiller Yes you like the phrase "apparent wind" but that's not how apparent wind works. If you're overpowered you reduce power by heading up. There's briefly more apparent wind speed but at a reduced angle so less load on the sheet. I could understand less load on the sheet allowing the bungee to move the tiller but can't see that an _increase_ in load on a sheet already at full extension can cause anything to move. But, however you like to explain it if it works it works.
