"Playing Pirate" for halloween is entertaining...

Dealing with real pirates is generally fatal.

Exactly what my wheel does on a 10 meter trimaran ! 2.5 turns lock to lock.
No weather helm when 30 degrees to weather or any other angle.
Well maybe a tiny bit when on a screaming beam reach, but nothing the Autohelm 4000 can't handle unless we see 30 knots with a double reef !

Georgia Straits ! Yee Haa !

Well, Im definitely not referencing the real modern day style pirate.
Were talking Capt. Jack Sparrow type pirates, i.e.. the playing pirates for fun on halloween kind of pirate.
