Will,

I have just returned from two weeks on my boat in the Charleston, SC area. We sailed using the Hydrovane daily with winds ranging from 10-20 kts. I was impressed with how well it kept us on course. I expected more fluctuation in course as the wind picked up but it held us quite steady. We sailed one day with just the main to see how it would behave and it was right on.

The silence in the cockpit from the lack of autopilot was pleasantly notable. Sorry we didn’t have it before our cruise to the Bahamas but will look forward to our cruise to Bermuda next spring.

Regards,
Jeffrey Kornblum, M.D.
