Hi John, Will
To let you know, Hydrovane is now fitted to my bracket and has been tested sailing around the Ria’s in the A-Coruna area in Galizia northern Spain. I have tried my hardest to find a point of sailing/sail configuration were it fails to control the boat, without success. Just adjusting the Ratio and/or Vane angle sorts out any problem. The first time engaged was during an unexpected rain squall. I missed it because I left it and went to change after being soaked. It was fascinating to watch, I found the slightest adjustment elected an immediate response of heading change, I think it will become my best friend!
