Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
How to choose, buy, build, install, maintain, repair, and use a windvane self-steerer
When you're cruising shorthanded, you can't always be at the helm. A windvane self-steering system is the most reliable means of steering your small vessel on long ocean passages--and it doesn't use one amp of your precious electrical power. The Windvane Self-Steering Handbook is the definitive guide to every aspect of sailing and working with the long-distance sailor's best friend.
Veteran sailor Bill Morris points out the mechanical and navigational advantages of vane steering systems; provides an overview of available products, complete with sizes, prices, and contact information; and shows you how to install, maintain, repair, and modify vane gears for best performance. In this practical guide you'll find:
- Lucid explanations of how vane gears work
- An easy-to-implement discussion of how to match a vane design with your boat
- Invaluable instructions for how to sail with a windvane--settings, sail trim, etc.
- A look at ten commercially available vane gear systems
- Diagrams and instructions for a home-built unit
- Instructions for customizing vane gears for optimum performance
