Self steering gear

Look at the fleet for the first OSTAR and it's basically a test bed for various forms of self-steering gear.

She's just been up the mast again for about 2 hours - would you like to do that - I know I haven't got those guts and admire her immensly

. . . 'the defender of the poor and underprivilged'

More to the point - what are they doing wrong that makes it necessary to go up the stick?

excellent point! Maybe if they used strong enough gear in the first place it wouldn't be necessary.
