PT,
Interesting. Aside from being far less expensive, have you compared

Most of my sailing is hands-free and through overuse and abuse my
extender isn't sticking like it once did.
Thanks!
Lee

Rummy, try one of these. I got mine last week and the workmanship is so
gorgeous it's like fine art.

And I guess that an autopilot would be cheating, Rummy?
How about a wind vane? Bungee on the main sheet?
