el cheapo tiller pilot for CD28
When well trimmed and wind isn't jumping around too much, this works great on KAYLA.

Re: el cheapo tiller pilot for CD28
We used a similar system on our 27, but now we have a real ST2000 tiller pilot. The line on the tiller is definitely faster to set up. but you do have to balance the wind and the sails.

I do not want to be tripping over loose lines in the cockpit. That day I had the advantage of being on one tack for a long time, that is unusual in river sailing. You can't see it in the photo, but the bulk of mainsheet is always put unto a stuff bag.Sea Hunt Video wrote:Hey Tim:
