Subject: Question about our Hydrovane VXA2 D

Hi Will,

We are Alessandro Epifani and Barbara Sforzini, in December 2010 we bought from you wind pilot VXA2D. We are very satisfied with our choice, we never steered during Atlantic crossing even with rough seas with cross waves during the all 16 days. Here enclosed a video during Atlantic navigation under genoa spinnaker pole only.

Less than 6 months later, during our haul-out in Carriacou, we already noticed corrosion on black low collar, we attached some picture even if not very clear. After one year the collar was totally broken.

Does this problem happened to someone else?

[Editor’s note: the Bottom Collar (#26) is now made of Stainless Steel]

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Ciao
Ale e Barbara
