Hi Richard,

We tested the Hydrovane today and we’re very excited! It’s such a joy to be able to sail without the noise of an autopilot!

In particular, we were impressed with the intuitiveness of the operation and the sensitivity to fine tuning the course.

Also, we engaged the Hydrovane on a 140° apparent and it was able to steer even in very light winds. Very impressive too!

In the next days, we’ll have some longer downwind sails, we’re looking forward to it!

Cheers,

Till
