    I plan to try a stt set up on my Hartley TS16 when I finish the conversion later this year. I don’t see why any boat that has the helm balanced slightly to weather would not be able to be rigged with stt steering. I'll find out though ☺️.

    LS,

    Does anyone have recent experiences with sheet to tiller steering on Coromandels, Corribees, Kingfisher 20-ies, IF's etc?

    The "just lock your tiller in place with a bungee" method works fine on Coromandel Siskin on an upwind course. But that is where selfsteering stops on Siskin.

    Does anyone have experience with sheet to tiller setups on these type of small boats? I have a manual with how-to's on boats with jibs and mainsails but not on single mainsail powered junkrigged boats.

    Very curious to find out if this was tried before and if it worked??

    Best regards,

    Antoine
