Having taken the plunge and bought my Fleming wind vane for my Northener 28 i went out and bought a Martzcraft 35 and now find i may have to sell the fleming as i cant see how i could fit the Fleming and make it work with its centre cockpit has anyone any ideas how i could make the lines go over the coaming of the cockpit or am i wasting my time?, i like the Fleming so much i rather sell the Martzcraft

I second Kemosabe. Phil George is very helpful.

Download the free book SELF-STEERING UNDER SAIL
Autopilots and Wind-steering Systems By Peter Christian Fortmann

It has all the info you need plus diagrams on how to set up control lines for wheel steering. You want to be able to set all the adjustments from the wheel including setting the vane itself. Probably links to the book on the windvane forum or down this page somewhere from an older thread. Or I can send it to you.

Kemosabe just saw your post thanks for that, do you know Phil?

If you mean the flemming ? No i still have to sail back to queensland then take the fleming of the old yacht.
Just fixed the forestay had my first sail in four months of owing the boat.
