Wayne ,, I suppose I really don't need a vane. But I have always wanted
one. I just like the idea of a natural way of steering using the wind,
point of sail,etc.

Kinda nuts I guess.

Did you look at the other models of vanes? The Monitor seems like a

model. Another one I like is the Saye's Rig.

I will probably put this off but I keep looking ... and looking.

Are you convinced that you really need wind vane self steering?

For coastal cruising I have found the small tiller pilots easier to
use, much easier to install, and less expensive.
