Greetings Hydrovane Crew!

I just had to share my thoughts with you…

I recently sold my 46ft cutter which had a Hydrovane system when I purchased it. I quickly fell in love with (and in awe of) the unit, and it provided many miles of independence when sailing short-handed. The unit truly is indestructible. The electric autopilot gave up the ghost soon after purchasing the boat. I never fixed it! The Hydrovane was all I needed. I would not leave the wheel while motoring anyway.

Well, just this past week, I helped the new owner and his wonderful wife deliver the boat from West Palm Beach to St. Mary’s GA. The wonders of the wind vane were obvious to the new owners, and will be the most important piece of gear on their eventual circumnavigation.

To the future…I have a wonderful classic plastic Hunter 37 Cutter…and yes, the mechanical autopilot is kaput. I now know without any doubt that I must purchase another Hydrovane for this boat, and save the expense of fixing the mechanical autopilot. Now to start saving my pennies.

All the best,

Bruce Swabb
