In Response To: Auto-pilot or wind vane? ()

You may as well have some options - especially when it comes to steering and only two aboard. We have two Simrad tiller pilots and a Norvane windvane which I absolutely love. Here it is folded up with the wind paddle off , as you can see, it is quite compact and yet is strong... like bull! We had occasion to use this on a number of runs last winter in Mexico. This photo in the bay of Conception where we whiled away a week at anchor hunting the elusive Chocolate clam and going outside for Dorado which proved even more elusive.
