Before reading on, please take a moment to fill out this week’s survey so we can share your knowledge and experiences with the Cruising Compass family. Thanks.
Are you planning on buying a cruising boat, new or used, in the next two years?
Many thanks to all readers who took the time to answer last week’s survey on emergency tillers. Of the many readers who replied, 95% have an emergency tiller. Of those, 48% have practiced using the tiller and rated its efficiency at 3.3 stars out of 5. 13% of readers have had to use their tillers in a real steering emergency and they rated the real-world efficiency at 3.1 stars out of 5.
