Self Steering Gear

[ebb]

didna say wrong. I implied that the gear seemed to be a whole lot of stuff to live with in the cockpit. And I imagined the side pilot arms could be located in the aft corners. Not possible I know because your system is retroed off the existing winch pads. Mine on the Ariel are exactly in the middle of the coamings.
I hope you are successful. Best of luck.

Thanks Ebb

The unit does not get iin the way at all really, because it sits on the bit between the cockpit and the side deck, which I call the winch deck. We've given it as many soft curves as we can so that you can lean back on it.

Thanks for your support.

"Lead Sled" is the name many multihull sailors use for conventional deep keeled vessels.

Most prefer training wheels (amas) for stability to mere mass hung way down.
