Hi John,

I finally tested the hydrovane I installed on my Columbia 43……

I sailed from Honolulu to Hanalei bay in Kauai, only 125 nautical miles…but with 25 knots wind gusting up. Going with the wind at 150 degrees, coming back sailing to weather 45 to 50 degrees.

I did not touch the steering wheel until was time to drop anchor…or ready to drop sail at the entrance of the marina..

great….

I may need a spare pin, just in case.

thank you

Sergio
