[Rhodes22-list] ST1000 installation

[Hank]

Mike,

This summer I did a boy scout trip at Seabase on a C&C 38.  We only used
the +/- 10 button to adjust.  The captain and I practiced single handed
tacking to see who could do it faster.  Once we were set with the sheets,
you just quickly press the +/- 9 times and then forget about the wheel (or
tiller as the case may be).  As she comes across, dump the old working
sheet and start hauling the new working sheet.  Once you cleated the sheet,
you can then adjust the tiller as needed.
