Hi Will,

Just an update.

A few weeks ago in quite torrential rain we fitted the brackets and tube to the transom of our yacht. We had her slipped for the process, as with an extremely tender dinghy we would certainly have gone swimming I am sure if we had tried to undertake the exercise afloat.

We mounted the device about a foot off centre to port. This was because an internal bulkhead would have resulted in a centre mounted device having the starboard bolt of both brackets going into the interior of the yacht, accessible only via the starboard quarter berth, with the port bolts going into the cockpit.

Two weekends ago we fitted the rudder, head & wind vane, worked out how to use the device and then enjoyed a few hours of sailing in up to 20 kts of true wind, without using our wheel. We are delighted with the ease of use, its stability and good “watch keeping” abilities as regards the course made good.

We look forwards to many years of a successful partnership.

Cheers & thanks
Ed Davis
