ABSTRACT:
A wind-operated automatic steering gear for water-going vessels includes a wind vane, a main steering rudder, and a servo-rudder hinged to the rear end of the steering rudder. The wind vane is connected to the servo-rudder to move the latter and correct deviations in the course of vessel travel. A resetting mechanism is connected between the steering rudder and the wind vane to move the wind vane in response to movement of the steering rudder and thereby cause the wind vane to return to neutral position so that over correction of the vessel travel is prevented.
