Transworld 41 Ketch - Around the World

“I am pleased to report that in all conditions, in anything of a breeze and above, the Hydrovane worked perfectly.”

“Since last seeing you I have sailed around the world…

Your Hydrovane worked splendidly throughout the entire voyage and when crossing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans I was able to go for many days without having to touch the helm… With wind from a whisper to 45 knots (the strongest I experienced) she held to the course far better than if I had hand steered.”

“During the entire cruise I think we had the wind from every conceivable direction and at every possible strength from flat calm to Force 6 … I am pleased to report that in all conditions, in anything of a breeze and above, the Hydrovane worked perfectly. You may remember that my boat has a long straight keel and displaces about 16 tons so it had a fair amount of work to do.”
