Cool!
David Blagden (Hunter 19 Willing Griffin, 1972 Transat) did it with a vertical axis vane but he found the tab too sensitive. He solved it by locking the rudder and letting the tab steer (reversing it) - shows they have good balance!

Hi - great to see your self-steering set up. Just bought the same yacht - be very interested to see how you did it!

I made a trimtab for the rudder and made a horizontal axis vane, then linked them together. A lot of people have asked the same question as you, Ill try and take some close up pics of the unit and post another clip here. Thanks for watching.
