Hi Will

I attach 4 photographs of the Hydrovane on my Hallberg-Rassy 342. The boat is called ‘Aagool’ which is the Arabic name for “Camelthorn” which is a small desert bush ( 2 – 3 foot in Ht) with lots of thorns (surprise, surprise). It has a beautiful pink flower when the going is good, that is when it rains for more than one day a year (that is the desert for you).

The boat is moored at the Ritz Carlton Marina, Doha, Qatar.

The hydrovane performs superbly and is very easy to put into action. The literature that came with it says that most people are surprised by how easy it is to operate once they get their hands on it. It is true, it is a lot easier than one actually imagines. It is also an effective way to impress new crews. I usually wait for their eyes to widen, and the jaws to drop and then tell them to go and make the tea “while I watch my little gadget here”.

Cheers,

Abdulaziz
