Going back from Cat to mono, just for coastal cruising?


Recommended Posts

When we first bought VB it had tillers and a single wheel and before we had even started the delivery trip I was convinced the wheel should go. It took the first line of rain coming through to convince me that the wheel should stay - all while I steered from the protection of the cabintop. 

Since then the tillers have been removed and a second wheel added. Its it a dyneeme cable setup and provides as much feel and feedback as tiller steering. If the balance is wrong you definitely get the message straight away. 

 

Note: This isn't VB.

Twin tillers are great. These here will fold up and clip to the pushpit on each side. Completely out of the way. Auto pilot remote also allows auto tacking while solo twiddling of the sheets, or pilotage under motor from up the mast (so long as you don't want to reduce engine speed...)
