Hi J.J. The steering vane is out of plywood I got the book out of the
library it is out of print Wind Vane self steering how to plan and make
your own by Bill Belcher

7/27/99 Up at 0530 dead calm 0545 wach sun rise padeled out to open water
0630 very light air went from almost nothing to about 25nt. Main channel
foged in tack around and play with Auto(out steering vane) now a member of
the crew. Tryed on diterent tacks worked well only on temp mount for testing
will know have to make a perminet mount. Ancored in Pedder Bay 1550 about 4nm

Some time back there was talk about using funnuddles for flotation and to
stop the wires from clanging in the mast. I took the bottem off of my mast
and they are very tight and almost inposible to install any help would be
apericiated
