Hi John
Stormy Monday is a Kaufman 43 – designed by Mike Kaufman in Annapolis but built in Taiwan. Only about 6 or 7 ever built I believe.
The Hydrovane does the driving 80/90% of the time offshore – a brilliant bit of kit.
This is the second one I have had – the last one was on an S&S 36 in which it helmed for 5 transatlantics & I understand has done 2 more since.
In my time the only thing ever to be replaced were vane covers.
Keep up the good work!
Regards,
Paul
