Windy Self Steering
Selfsteering equipment idea was born while I was sailing around the world across three oceans on a 31-feet yacht. On the last leg from South Africa to Cabo Verde, flight home being less than 4000 nm away, the old noname self steering gear broke down when a bigger breaker hit the yacht from the side.
Hydrovane Self Steering Windvane
Golden Globe Update Day 113: [GGR Leader Jean-Luc Van Den Heede sailing the Rustler 36 Matmut] was full of praise for his Hydrovane self-steering. "In a gale it has a big advantage because it is not steering the boat's rudder, but has its own. This little rudder is far more efficient than the big rudder.". - Jean Luc Van Den Heede on ...
Wind Vane Self Steering: The Ultimate Guide
Short answer: wind vane self steering Wind vane self steering is a mechanical device used on sailboats to maintain a desired course without the need for continuous manual adjustment. It utilizes the force of the wind and a vertical axis to steer the boat by adjusting the position of the rudder. How Wind Vane Self.
Choosing and Understanding Self-Steering Gear
Choosing and Understanding Self-Steering Gear. A guide to equipping your boat with an electronic autopilot or windvane: Part II (published November 2013) A common piece of equipment found on the modern offshore cruising sailboats is the autopilot. Whether it is an electronic unit, a windvane, or both, the need to relieve the helmsman from ...
Hebridean self-steering wind vane
The kit fits yachts with stern freeboards from 600-1000mm (stationary). It is designed specifically for DIY construction. ... I am an enthusiastic fan of his highly ingenious version of the servo-pendulum self steering-system. I sailed in company with John on and off for a decade — using my own Hebridean (I was his first customer in 2013).
Windvane steering: why it makes sense for coastal cruising
Self-steering relies on a well balanced boat. As the wind shifts, the mechanism corrects. Self-steering gear works by adjusting the yacht's course in relation to the apparent wind. The first step to making this work as efficiently as possible is to balance the boat and reduce the amount of input required.
Sorting Out Self-Steering Options
In a second installment next month, we'll review alternative windvane designs, including trim-tab and auxiliary-rudder systems. Servo-pendulum vanes can be broken down into three main components: the sensor vane, the pendulum rudder, and the linkages. The sensor vane is the brains of the self-steering system, but it needs apparent wind to work.
Self-steering gear
Self-steering gear is equipment used on sail boats to maintain a chosen course or point of sail without constant human action. [1] History. Mechanical or "wind vane" self-steering started out as a way to keep model sail boats on course. Before the advent of radio control, model yacht racing (started before WW1) was typically contested on long ...

Guide to Self-Steering for Sailboats
2024. Self-steering systems are a sailor's best friend, especially on long voyages. They allow the boat to maintain a steady course without constant manual input, freeing up the crew for other tasks. Among the various self-steering mechanisms, windvanes are particularly popular.
Self-Steering—with No Strings Attached
Auto Steer: This system, made in England, is easily adapted to boats with outboard rudders. Through a simple acetal-plastic and silicon-bronze universal linkage, the horizontal-axis sensor vane connects to a custom-sized trim tab made of wood and stainless steel attached to the boat s rudder. The Auto Steer trim-tab vane is made of LM25 ...
Windvane Selfsteering
Windvane self-steering options fall into two categories, servo pendulum and auxiliary rudder. Servo pendulum solutions utilize your boat's own rudder and as the name suggests, auxiliary rudder products work with a separate, independent rudder system. We believe servo-pendulum systems like the Monitor are usually your best option. They are ...

What's the best autopilot kit for a transatlantic?
Of the 230 complete responses to the questionnaire (out of a total of 251 yachts that finished one of the three separate events) there were five yachts that sailed without any form of self-steering.
Other Kits and Plans
Windvane Self Steering. The purpose of a wind-vane self steering device is to allow the skipper to do something other than sitting at the helm. While this is not practical for most un-ballasted small sailboats, a self steering device is an essential tool for the cruising sailor. Graham has been testing the wind vane on his Core Sound 17 Mark 3 ...
Servo Pendulum Windvane Self Steering for Yachts
A servo pendulum windvane uses its own rudder, together with the yacht steering system, to keep the boat on course. A servo pendulum windvane is the most efficient form of yacht windvane self-steering available. Neptune works well when motoring as long as the wind across the decks is above 5 knots. This is a big + and only possible as the ...
Autopilot/Self-Steering Gear
Self-steering gear is an ingenious mechanical device that often uses a wind vane (wind direction sensor) instead of a compass to tell the steering system which way to move the rudder. First, you point the boat in the direction you'd like to go, position the sails for maximum efficiency, and then engage the self-steering mechanism. If the wind ...

Genoa self-steering
Genoa self-steering. Ocean Navigator August 29, 2014. Most wind-driven self-steering gear is based on stern-mounted wind vane setups. There are various combinations of servo-pendulum and auxiliary rudder models available that are installed aft of the cockpit and provide input to control lines that steer the boat based on a set angle to the wind.
Build Your Own Self-Steering Windvane
Let's start with building the trim tab. The trim tab should be somewhere around 10 to 15 percent of the area of the rudder. We decide on the correct diameter of shaft for the blade. In my case this was a 5/8″ diameter stainless steel shaft. We then drill several (say four) holes to take through-bolts which will hold the wooden blade to the ...
