 The
CapeHorn Integrated Self-Steering system was developed by Yves Gélinas, a
solo circumnavigator.
At the
2005 United States Sailboat Show in Annapolis, MD,
TheSailingChannel interviewed Yves Gélinas' nephew, Eric
about his uncle's famous self-steering system.
Yves designed the CapeHorn for his 1983 28,000 mile circumnavigation aboard
his Alberg 30, Jean-du-Sud. Yves
engineered a self-steering system that is an integral part of the vessel.
His design places the self-steering quadrant inboard and enables its
servo-pendulum to be controlled by a small autopilot if the wind completely dies.
You can purchase a film of Yves' solo voyage and read numerous articles on the
CapeHorn website.
