Hi Sherry,

Just to say our hydrovane is fantastic – thank you! We have sailed 7000 miles so far and now mid Pacific. Without our ‘happy wanderer’ we would be bereft!!!

Kind regards Paul and Harriet Hayes of Anahi

….and a later response:

No problem with the website, we are a Kaufman 47 centre cockpit nearly 25 years old now.  We call the vane ‘Happy Wanderer’…..

If you care to look at my blogs click on web diary and then Anahi you get lots of mentions especially on the Atlantic passage I think and some photos too. I can’t send photos from sea but if you can’t find any let me know and I will send when we get to Marquesas. Try Portabelo to Panama Canal blog where we had to use the rudder of the vane when our steering broke down in the middle of the busiest shipping lane! Feel free to quote….. thanks again – it’s an amazing piece of wizardry! 

Regards, Harriet
