About this product
Product Information
A reference book for anyone considering whether to fit an autopilot or windvane steering system to their boat, but baffled as to which is most suitable. It explains the difference between tiller, wheel and inboard autopilots as well as the 12 windvane steering options available, and considers their suitability for various types of boat and sea conditions. The author considers such questions as: which self-steering systems are more suitable for cruising and which for racing?; what are their limitations in terms of sea conditions and power consumption?; what is yaw damping?; why are windvane steering systems unsuitable for ULDBs?; how do you steer a catamaran without running into power consumption problems?; why is good sail trim so important for good self-steering?; what self-steering provisions should you make when building a boat?; and is DIY windvane gear construction still a feasible option? The book concludes with a comparison of all the alternatives available and a list of manufacturers of practically every self-steering system made anywhere in the world.

Very fairly priced. Speedy delivery in 3 days. Strong PVC packaging was used but unfortunately there was a hole in the bag and damage to the book cover as a result (minor) which may have been averted by a layer of bubble wrap or cardboard packaging on this heavy hardback book with sharp corners. This is feedback not a complaint as I appreciate using more robust packaging could result in higher prices. Would appreciate if this seller left feedback on me as a buyer please!

Quick delivery and carefully packaged. Book condition was as described and a nice little surprise of it being a hard back. Yet again I would advice for you to remove previous price stickers as it is disheartening to the buyer.

Item arrived on time but will you tell seller to pack in something better than plastic bags as damade has occured as shown in transit. Royal Mail tend to not take enough care and chuck other stuff on top which causes dents etc
