15 Ton Steel Ketch

Hi john,

Please find a few pics of the hydrovane fitted to my petite prince 125, a french built steel ketch. She is heavy at 15 tons but the hydrovane handles her beautifully. I sail in the greek islands so anchor all the time the gear is a bit noisy at anchor so I take off the rudder using a small block and tackle. I find it quite easy. I also made a cover for the gear out of a bit of old sail cloth (keeps the sahara sand out). Thank you once again for a splendid piece of equipment. I sail alone and dont know what I would do without it now. I particularly would like to thank valerie for all the effort she put in to get the gear to me (in two countries). She will know what I mean. All the very best, mike taylor

Hi john, I bought a hydrovane from you this time last year. Have fitted and used it all summer, and am over the moon with its performance. Everything I ever read about was true. Could you let me know the diameter of the X shaft as I am making a hard wood bracket to fit around it. I cant measure it myself as the yacht is in Greece and Im in England. Thanks mike taylor
