Monitor Wind Vane Self Steering
Attention is rarely needed to steer our Saugeen Witch. Instead, we use a purely mechanical device that tirelessly steers night and day using only the wind and our motion through the water.
Our device is a Monitor Windvane by Scanmar

It works great through most points of sail and conditions down to about 5 knots of wind.
