The timer of the water installation seems broken actually. But is nothing exotic here and there in Las Palmas is everything, already been ordered. Then we looked at the construction of an autopilot. Usually ships have even built a "large" car drivers, the most directly touched down via hydraulics to the rudder quadrant. Great advantage. ... Press on the control buttons, and even driving the boat alone. Disadvantage. ... Eats free and powerful river. On the lauan there is no "big" autopilot and Retrofitting would be tedious (conversion of rope control on hydraulic, etc.) and exorbitantly expensive. For our needs 22 tons already a rather large, which would have also like some "big" cost 15,000 euros. So ... .. what to do to not have to be constantly at the helm? When the wind does most of the great wind vane. But without the wind? No problem! Instead of the wind takes over with us from now on a simple small tiller pilot, as it is being used on ships without wheel, driving the wind vane. Advantage: Since he has to spend any great power (the wind vane steers the ship so), it consumes minimal power and priced to an AP is about 400 €. Then you can take to loose even one or two as a substitute. Hasta manana Michael
