Thanks Jack for your support. I didn't know of Letcher's book when I came up with the idea, and I have since found out that Joshua Slocum played around with sheet to tiller steering on circumnavigation in the eighteen nineties. Anyway . . .
Yachting Monthly Magazine, one of the top UK yachting magazines have recently sail tested the Steersman. Their report article appears in the August edition of the magazine.
They have kindly let us have a copy, so we have put it up on our website. Here it is, just follow the link:
