How to Balance Your Boat to Sailing

Kareena has Redundant systems for everything except for the bronze tiller arm that the autopilot attached to and Last 1500 two days out. We wound up having a failure on the bronze arm So after screwing around trying to find another bronze arm I realized that was the one thing I didn't have Now we have five more days of sailing and my first inclination was oh, this is going to be absolutely miserable It forced us for the first time in our lives To trim the boat correctly and sailing without the autopilot was absolutely nothing. And we would sit there and just gently move the wheel up and down and the boat sailed perfectly all the way to tortola.
