Hello John & the rest of the team

It’s been a while now since I received the Hydrovane and Kay, my better half and I fitted it to the stern of Salutation the week after. It’s been very busy for us recently hence the delay in sending you 2 video clips and a few pictures of Harvey (that’s his name–taken from a James Stewart film “Harvey” with the 6ft white rabbit).

We managed to escape for August and sailed south towards northern France where we spent an enjoyable 4 weeks of drinking wine and eating fresh prawns, oh and sailing!. During that time we used “Harvey” quite a lot and with a lot of success. The last time I used an Hydrovane was in 1991 when I helped to take a yacht from the UK to the Canary Islands. We are getting there in balancing the sails and are beginning to enjoy “Harvey’s” company.

It’s a great piece of kit and every yacht should have one.

So it’s another satisfied customer and therefore a big thank you to all the team in Vancouver and of course the guys who manufactured “Harvey” in the UK.

Many thanks

David & Kay
