Good Morning Will,

We’ve just started using our hydrovane and so far it’s been fantastic. Last week we had a steering failure and used our emergency tiller and the hydrovane to sail about 15 miles into the nearest port. It was our first time using it and we were able to get it rigged up and working very easily. We have repaired the steering system and, as I write this email, have been sailing for the last 6 hours on the hydrovane in 25 knots of wind gusting to 30 in about 4’ seas and It‘s working great! We’re still getting used to it and figuring out exactly how to optimize and adjust it, but just wanted to say thanks; you guys make a great piece of equipment!

All the best,

Josh Kegan

Here’s a picture from earlier today before the wind and seas built, and from last week of our set up with the emergency tiller:
