Runaway yacht

I have finally managed to achieve 'no hands sailing' - without lashing the tiller or using tiller/auto pilot for an extended period.

I have always been a bit nervous leaving the tiller, don't know why as she sails to windward perfectly.

Sounded like you were in a hurricane /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Bit eerie I thought, like the Marie Celest sort of!

Oh yes, I was heading for a big ramp - that'll teach the bugg** to hang off the back!

Oh by the way -
