OFFSHORE TESTING New wind self steering Provane (ep16)
As I say in the video a wind self steering is all important to me. Electric autopilot are easy to use but can fail and battery's will need extra charging.. Mechanical wind self steering are less likely to stop working and dont make any noise, but do require more tuning and balance of sails t to get them to work effectively.
The one I chose is called a Provane.
My boat is a Graham Radford designed 14 meter or 46 foot custom built in Aluminum in 1994 in Tasmania Australia.
