Survey of the Week

Before reading on, please pause for a moment to take this week’s survey so we can share the results with the Cruising Compass family.

Wind vane self steering devices have been steering cruising boats offshore using only the wind  and water for power for 75  years. Do you use a wind vane steering system? Would you use one for sailing offshore?
