[C38] Emergency Tiller

[david at dlrfilms.com]

Fear of being under the deck, in foul weather, try to fix/remove the
wheel/pedalstal is part of why I took the whole damn thing out before our
Bermuda run. Now my emergency tiller is... Another tiller!

FWIW, ~10% of the boat that came into Bermuda while we were there had
steering gear problems. Scary!
