Hi Will
Thanks for that. Please find attached a pic of the repaired vane – please feel free to use as you wish, sorry it was not taken in rougher weather!

Boat is a Bowman 40 named Quilcene – passage from Mindelo to Paramaribo 15 days.

A point of interest – other yachts that crossed at similar time said that their lighter wind vanes didn’t steer so well. We sailed under ‘poled out’ Yankee to leeward and a ‘poled out’ stay sail to windward – although most of the time it was almost ‘dead downwind’

couple of ‘pics’ attached
