Windvane Steering Necessary for Long Ocean Passages?
Jack, my windvane comments verses auto-pilots are based my own experience,with my own boat,as well as crewing on other boats. I agree that todays auto-pilots are alot better, but for offshore on a small boat (40 feet and under ),a wind vane is required crew. BTW I use a Cape Horn. Is to the azores and back a book?-thomas
