Moody 33 Mk I

“My advice to anyone crossing the pond or Pacific or any other big expanse of deep water: have a Hydrovane fitted.”

Hi

I have the Moody33 Mk1 which you had in your gallery for a while.

Anyway I have to say, the Hydrovane was the best bit of kit I purchased for the boat.

It took a bit of getting used to, especially in marinas and harbours, but out on the sea, oceans it performed like a none sleeping crew member with the accuracy of a pocket computer, 24/7 it steered, for hours on end, with just the odd tweek now and then.

We crossed the Atlantic in 2023, 2100nm, the Hydrovane steered in heavy and light trade winds with minimal adjustments.

My advice to anyone crossing the pond or Pacific or any other big expanse of deep water, have a Hydrovane fitted.

Regards

Hi Trevor,

Thank you for reaching out. It is so wonderful to receive such emails and hear what you’ve been up to. We still have the photos of Dignity Too of Edinburgh on our website; it’s a great installation.

We’re thrilled that Hydrovane steered you across the Atlantic.  The Hydrovane sure loves those trade winds and you’re right about it being the sleepless crew member!

I hope you’re enjoying sailing somewhere wonderful.

Would you mind if we post your comments on our website?

Warm regards from a snowy Vancouver,
Sarah

Hi Sarah

Sorry forgot to say, we are in Cartagena Colombia.

The Hydrovane took us from UK to Spain, Portugal,  Canaries,  Mindelo,  Martinique,  Caribbean islands, ABC’s, to Colombia.

She didn’t fail us or let us down once.

True and steady, minimally tweaking.

Cheers

Trev
