TheSailingChannel.tv interviews CapeHorn's Eric Gホlinas at the 2005 US Sailboat Show in Annapolis, MD. Eric gives TSCtv a firsthand look at this unique self-steerer designed by his famous uncle, Yves Gホlinas, for his record-breaking 1983 circumnavigation aboard an Alberg 30 sloop. The CapeHorn places the self-steering quadrant inboard and enables its servo-pendulum to be controlled by a small autopilot if the wind completely dies.
