Hi Richard

I thought I would give you a progress report.

From Falmouth in Cornwall I sailed to Fowey along the coast which is about 22 miles.

Balanced my sails and pointed the vane into the wind (15 to 20 kts)

Wow – fantastic ! Even though I noticed when I arrived that the tiller handle and rudder weren’t quite central . I adjusted this for the trip home.

Wasn’t sure about the return trip as 20 kts on the beam and horrible short uncomfortable swell so it was harder to balance the sails.

Needn’t have worried – brilliant again !

So easy to use. Really happy.

Kind Regards

Steve
