Robert has been sharing his tiller tamer on the JW forum. He has used it very successfully on a 20+ mile journey in 15 - 20 knot winds. He says it could be locked off to give him up to 15 minutes free hands in which he could get a snack; move about his boat etc. Having browsed the website http://www.daysailer.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1659 it certainly looks a good idea.
I have a tiller tamer on Arwen, a sightly different configuration but it works equally well. I adapted it from http://www.petersmall.co.uk/site/RIG%20TILLER%20LINES.htm#method 8
and at http://intheboatshed.net/2006/12/18/the-dinghy-cruising-association/
I've found it just as useful. Well worth installing.
