Hi Will and Sarah – Your recent email reminded me to offer a picture of the installation for the benefit of other Southerly owners. Even though I had read all the highly favourable reports, I like others, was astonished by the sheer brilliance of the Hydrovane. My sea trial was a single-handed passage from Padstow to Falmouth via the Scillies, and I felt at ease with your Hydrovane almost immediately, which was unexpected. It is obviously incomparably preferable to my autopilot, as it is silent and does not drain batteries, but it also helmed impeccably on all points of sail. Thank you for creating such a remarkable piece of kit. “It” is gradually becoming personified, but no fixed name as yet! All best wishes, Stephen Frankel
