TIKI 21 CATAMARAN COOKIE - HARRY THE WINDVANE STEERING

[@maniebotha1]

Hi Rory, thanks for all the new videos. This one of "Harry" is fantastic and very informational, great to see it in action. Also once again for helping me to get a copy of Bill Belcher's book Wind-Vane Self-Steering. I am definitely going the same way. My boat is not finished but I have started to do "camping" trips on our big dams. Cheers.

yes bob belcher's plans! the only one i've seen on internet working. great!!

Is this system directly connected to the tillers through the lines (seeing the vane itself is large vs. the Tiki 21's modest size/weight -- it might be enough ?), or did Rory use trim tabs added to the rudders ? Any links to the design used ?

Let's have another with all the workings? Can it handle light wind ? Bill Belcher wrote to trailing a warp to counter accelerating off down wind and surfing. The drag increases on trailed rope which could apply correction bringing vane upright. Would this Tiki be first again? Looks incessantly exhilarating :0
