Self-steering: Helm Impeders - DIY tiller locks

 I found a couple of USA blogs with DIY "Tiller locks" (Helm Impeder's, UK) They are very compact and look neat and functional.

There is a nice one on Joel's Navigator site - DIY tiller lock . He discusses different types of tiller lock/helm impeder then details how to build a home made screw friction type tiller lock.

Another good idea is from the The Stingy sailor - DIY tiller lock . He details how to make a screw friction (or lever clutch) tiller lock.
