Hi Will
You want to hear a little report about the Hydrovane on the ARC and WorldARC (it will join us also in the ARC Europe). It´s easy to tell. It was the best part we mounted on our boat. The Hydrovane steered us safely through the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, South-Atlantic and will lead us through the North-Atlantic back to the Mediterranean.
Only when motoring, we used our electric autopilot. We did recommend the Hydrovane to all interested people we met. A safe steering without consuming energy was for us extremely important, as we got our energy only from 6 Solarpanels and the Duogen. We had no Diesel-generator.
Kind regards
Roland, Skipper Ariane
