Self Steering Using a Monitor Windvane to Chagos & Other Sailing Tips -Patrick Childress Sailing #15
Using the Monitor Windvane for Self Steering, Jib block set up and Racor Fuel filters, while sailing the Indian Ocean to Chagos. Fighting contrary wind and ocean currents and a mysterious engine failure....after 15 days we arrived in the remote atoll of Chagos. Sailing our Bluewater sailboat Brick House from SriLanka to Chagos there was a lot for us to consider while sailing in rough seas, as well as calms, but always with a sideways current making sailing southwest difficult. Patrick set up our Monitor Sailboat Windvane self steering when the wind hit about 12 knots and it steered us flawlessly the whole way saving us from using the electricity for the autopilot... Patrick also shows our setup with our jib blocks to control the shape of the jib for sailing to windward, and later for downwind sailing. Two important things to learn as you are sailing around the world. Installing a Racor Filter fuel filter system onboard years ago was fortuitous...our fuel got pretty shaken up, and our engine failed due to dirty fuel.
