Hi, Gloria, Will, Sarah,

I managed to install the Hydrovane, which I named Miche. This weekend was the first test, in very light conditions, below 10 knots of wind. All went great, beam reach, broad reach, boom reach. Wind from the back, all OK.

Just maneuvering in the harbour is a bit more challenging. With the HV locked, my turning circle is to wide get into my box. I went back out and removed the rudder.

Next time i’ll try to maneuver with the HV unlocked, maybe the rudder will just follow.

As soon as I manage to take a decent picture I will send one.

See you on the water.

Peter
