Hi Will,

I’ve been sailing all morning dead down wind and the Hydrovane is working very well. It worked straight away without much playing around, I’m surprised how easy it was to get steering the boat. Only about 10-12 knots of wind, I’ll be interested to see how it performed in other conditions.

Cheers Dale.

Hi Will, just a progress report. Have had light winds for the last week (400nm) even used hydrovane while flying the assymetrical. It’s now 4:30am and a 18knot westerly has come upon the beam quite quick, Hydrovane is working very well, I still surprised at how easy it is to set. I’ll send you a picture of Hydrovane sailing Freeform under spinnaker.

Cheers, Dale
