So far this thing is a beauty. Tracks very well even with an offset and underpower. Testing will continue, but so far you were right about how easy this is …
- pick and course and stabilze the boat
- pull the pins and turn vane leading edge into the wind
- and she tracks in a straight line
was able to make small course changes by rotating the vane – boat simply tracked around. more tests under sail on the next windy day
