I was inspired by Dominic Tarr, a Kiwi sailor and all round innovator.

I've always coveted a good windvane steering system. This is a cool approach.

A bit off topic, but you might find it much easier, and safer, if you neatened up all those lines laying around, especially on a multihull. Most of the multihulls that I know of that have capsized, did so because the crew was unable to release a sheet quickly enough, in a squall.
