I have been reading a English forum on tiller vrs wheel
forums.ybw.com/index.php?threads/can-anyone-cure-me-of-my-prejudice-against-wheel-steering.405807/page-6 and someone mentioned the Etap vertical steering as a alternative to either
This system is a modern version of whipstaff steering
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whipstaff The Etap uses a bevel gear to transfer the motion and the fellow who has it on his boat said it was a good thing
