“…she has steered the boat 94% of our logged hours for a distance of over 12,000 nm!
She has performed perfectly in all sailing conditions, though she seems to prefer the stronger winds and bigger seas unlike her human crew members.”

Hello Will,
Our Hydrovane or “Heidi” as we call her has been our loyal and trusted third crew member. In our passage from San Francisco to Australia via the South Pacific she has steered the boat 94% of our logged hours for a distance of over 12,000 nm!
She has performed perfectly in all sailing conditions, though she seems to prefer the stronger winds and bigger seas unlike her human crew members.
The Echotec water maker has also been working perfectly.
Thanks for everything,
Russ and Roz
S/V Worrall Wind
