Sailing beginners - I handling your sailboat

In this sailing beginner articles / wanted to discuss the rudder steering self for sailboats. There appears to be some self-guided methods or what I call automatic control of the direction of a sailboat.

You can presses self-steering sailing capacity for letting go of the tiller to fix a meal, a candle to pass out, or simply a break without the boat's course. The solution can be imposed on a little effort a distraction even complicated and expensive. I would like to focus on auto management solution less expensive first known as the leaf one same direction rudder mechanism is relatively simple, but works pretty well.

The cultivator is operated by a rope, which is attached on one side and on the other hand to pen with a pulley between them, which is mounted on the side of the boat. On the other side of the tiller joins a string of bungee, to pull the rope of the rise of the force in the tiller in the opposite direction counter acts. That indeed has a rope pulled by the mast of the tiller to one side and a string of bungee on the other, which moves in the opposite direction. Moving in the same direction, so the rope in the tiller in the opposite direction it is connected so that the wind meets the mainsail, boom is affected by management as against the boat and to keep on course. The bungee may in various sizes, which through the pen on the other side of the tiller contrary to the intensity of the wind, which is attached to the other side of the tiller.

Another method that is used is a plastic windvane, and like the wind the flag moves in the opposite direction, that effects of blowing the whole included separate rudder to the boat in the other direction, the direction in the square. It works on the same principle as described above, but it is more complicated and more expensive also. Also to use the Weathercock, which blocked the tiller locks into place by a rope or chain, then take the rudder that contain is control over the management of the for sailor to abandon control of the boat to do other things like cooking a meal or whatever you have. Both systems work equally well and depending on how much you want to spend to decide what management system auto, ultimately to deal with you.
