Yacht Wind-Vane Steering: How to Plan and Make Your Own by Bill Belcher
Belcher really did "write the book" on self steering systems and provides simple to follow diagrams and patterns for vertical, horizontal, and servo-pendulum systems. Even if you're not planning on building your own, it's nice to understand the basic concepts of what they do, how they work, and the pros and cons of the different systems
"If you have ever sailed singlehanded or shorthanded, you've no doubt longed for an extra air of hands on board. Self-steering gear provides that extra assistance, and Bill Belcher, a trained engineer and experienced yachtsman, provides you with this book full of both theoretical and practical information on the subject."
