Norseman 447
“…super good steering system. It steered our Norseman 447 all across the Pacific and worked great from light winds on the stern to strong winds on the bow. Although I had some trouble in the beginning, I am now a true believer, and I’ll tell anyone.”

We’ve reached New Zealand on our boat, Realtime, and we need a new cover for the vane.
It’s probably not a big revelation to you, but I want you to know that our Hydrovane turned out to be a super good steering system. It steered our Norseman 447 all across the Pacific and worked great from light winds on the stern to strong winds on the bow. Although I had some trouble in the beginning, I am now a true believer, and I’ll tell anyone.
Much thanks to Will for his help in Puerto Vallarta to look my installation over and make a couple of suggestions.
Best regards,
Bob Packard
