With millions of cars being produced each year, lots of lettuce is within reach to examine any new steering-materiel ideas before they are acquainted with on the technique. On the other will, there are undoubtedly only a few hundred steering systems built for sailing boats each year, so it is sparse sight that problems do develop, far more often than they should. Fortunately, when they do betide, sailors will almost never be unfixed at more than 6 or 8 knots, so the results are unseemly to be decreed.
