Re Question from KJD13

Quotes from fb,

Scott Rowlison I used to trim and balance the boat and just tie a piece of rope to windward cleat and tie it to the tiller. Was good enough to allow time to make coffee etc.

Chris Rand I sailed my tophat for years without an autopilot. Similar system to this, take the jib sheet, one turn only around the winch, across to the other winch, one turn back to aslip knot around the tiller. Shock cord fom tiller to a cleat on cockpit. Worked great
