Hi Richard,

Just wanted to say hi and express my thanks for getting us our unit a few months ago. We are currently 50 off Baja right now headed for the Sea of Cortez. The Hydrovane has steered us flawlessly since we left Ventura two weeks ago. I don’t think I’ll ever get over the fact that I don’t have to listen to my autopilot ever again while under sail. This is truly an amazing piece of kit. I never got the chance to order some spares, but I plan to when we haul before our potential pacific crossing next season. Once again thanks!

Peter & Olivia
