Kelly Peterson 44

“I sailed to Hawaii and back three years ago and can’t say enough good things about your windvane.”

“One big advantage, is that in the middle of the night on the ocean, when a large container ship appears out of nowhere, it is very easy to quickly take over control of the wheel and then just as easy to set up the Hydrovane again.”

Hello John

It has been a few years since I have talked with you so you probably don’t remember me. I have a Peterson 44 which came with an old Hydrovane when I bought it 10 years ago. You helped me update it to the current model (VXA2D I believe).

I sailed to Hawaii and back three years ago and can’t say enough good things about your windvane. I had 2 crew members on board, who had sailed with the monitor before and liked the Hydrovane much more.

One big advantage, is that in the middle of the night on the ocean, when a large container ship appears out of nowhere, it is very easy to quickly take over control of the wheel and then just as easy to set up the Hydrovane again.

I actually use it quite a bit when I’m sailing by myself in the summertime (I live in Port Townsend, WA) around here.

Thanks, Wendell

Hey John

I have no problem with you putting my email on your website. And use me for a reference; although I might talk someone’s ear off about the Hydrovane.

All the best, Wendell
