Hi Will

Of course, do use our recommendation – will look out a photo or two as well.

Re parts – we’ve done 28000 miles, suspect the vane gear has not been serviced since at least one Atlantic circuit before that – or possibly not since fitted (6 Atlantic crossings + several thousand more in the Pacific and the Med now under her keel)! So, well overdue for some new bits.

I spoke to Geoff soon after we got the boat and he recalled (and I think had records of) fitting the unit to our boat 1984.

Many thanks and kind regards

Mike
