What\'s a tiller?
The tiller to the boom thing is in ST I think. I'd not thought of that one.
I'd reckon, telling em how to know which way to go, to have reduced accidental gybes down to almost nothing. We do get 180 turns on occasion but not much boom swinging.

Re: Why?
<Why would you do that?>
Have you ever put a spoon in the sink face up then turned the tap on? If you haven't, go try it and let us know how wet you got.

Just because it's the right shape and the right colour and it turns up when you expect it and where you expect it - don't assume it's what you hope it is.

This is an oldy and possibly the most useless advice I know but it is also guaranteed to work:
"The best cure for seasickness is to sit under a tree."
Merry Christmas.

Do all your sums with tide-tables etc, work out exactly what time you need to leave - then leave one hour earlier.

Your small may be my big..
what size do you mean.
I reckon anything less than 65 feet is small. And mine is very small.
