Making very slow progress up coast Most of the self steering has problems due to the loading up of the rudders. No answers at the moment. As we came abeam of Caloundra the course was lost and we swung about 180 degrees and tried to "T" bone the Pacific Dawn which had just passed astern of us. In the effort to regain our course the Port tiller arm was broken off. The girls were forced to hand steer from the starboard side as I effected a repair and got us underway again.
We reinstalled the self steeering but all of the mountings are showing signs of the effort needed to push the tiller arms
"Zenataos" previously "Wired" a John Hitch 15 metre Catamaran was rebuilt after a fire destroyed the port hull while she was at anchor at Burrum Heads. The remains, stbd hull, mast , rigging and sails were salvaged by me and towed to Maryborough and lifted on to the hard and then rebuilt over the next two years to emerge as a bridgedeck catamaran.
