Sailboat Windvane, Self Steering Wind Vane For Bristol Channel Cutter

This is a video and building description of the sailboat self-steering wind vane I built from a design by Larry Pardey. It is designed for a Lyle Hess designed Bristol Channel Cutter a boat with a full keel, aft hung rudder and a backstay aft of the boat attached to a boomkin. Included is for the most part all that you need to know to build one for yourself. But be advised it is a job that requires skill and time. If you don't have the time I recommend that you just buy one from Mike Anderson's Freehand vane gear here is a link to his page http://andersonboatworks.com/craftsma...
