New steering system for MCR


Just spent the morning installing the new steering system on MCR and it looks like it might just work. The problem I was having is that with the tiller way down the back of the boat, whenever I capsized I'd loose the tiller extension and have to crawl into the back to retrieve it. This usually ended with multiple capsizes. With the new system the tiller is right where you left it before the capsize and has the other advantage of having a constant steering angle no matter where you position the carriage. The old tiller will stat until I can prove the concept feasible then it'll go.
