Dear John:

We have an Amazon 37 foot steel sailboat built 18 years ago in Vancouver in that time we have sailed the west coast of US and made the circuit of the Caribbean and central America, several trips to Bermuda, crossed to Europe thru to Turkey and now back in the Caribbean and presently on our way to Panama – all with our Hydrovane and only very, vey rarely using an electric autopilot.

We simply couldn’t imagine setting off without “Merlin”.

Subject: hydrovane cover

We are on a circumnavigation, having sailed from the U.S. to and thru the Med,  then back to the Caribbean, across the Pacific and now we are in Thailand.

Our hydrovane, occasionally with the aid of a tillerpilot has exclusively steered our 37’ steel Amazon sailboat.  In 15 years we have had no repairs or maintenance other than occasional washing and spraying wd40 or anti-corrosion fluid. We now need a new cover. How do we order one?
