Sailboat wind vane self-steering system OUTBOARD

standard

The Varuna and Joshua models combine the simplicity of the CapeHorn control mechanism, with a conventional installation mode, totally outboard. This allows installation of a CapeHorn on yachts with outboard rudders or in all cases when an installation through the hull is not practical (Joshua is for 35’ and up). The mounting arms of the Varuna model are 1" (25 mm ) dia. tube. They are 18 5/8" (473 mm ) apart and 22" (560 mm ) long (standard). The diagonal braces are 7/8" (22 mm ) dia. tube, 40" ( 1 m ) long. The mounting arms of the Joshua model are 1.66" (41 mm ) dia. tube. They are 21" (533 mm ) apart and 22" (560 mm ) long (standard). The standard diagonal braces supplied are 1" (25 mm ) dia. tube, 60" ( 1,5 m ) long. Both models can be built with longer mounting arms and diagonal braces if needed.
