“If there is enough wind to sail the boat well, it steers is great, even with a kite up in many conditions.”

Hi, I have a hydrovane that is a few years old now. Firstly, it has been great. We are just starting a multi year trip around the pacific, but she has performed as good if not better than I had hoped.

If there is enough wind to sail the boat well, it steers is great, even with a kite up in many conditions. Now have used it almost the entire way from Seattle down the coast to zihuatanejo, mexico and will be using on the way to the south pacific later in march.

Anyway, while doing some cleaning of the main gear unit, we lost both of the little black plastic screws that hold the cover on. I didn’t see those as spare parts, but are they available? I am heading back to Seattle later this month, so if it possible to get a pair that I can bring back down to the boat, that would be great!

Thanks,

Lauren
