Hi all,

Fitted this in December and have just completed first trip from Lowestoft to Penzance. I’m 60 and have been sailing since I was 5, so I know what I like.

This is undoubtedly the best piece of kit I’ve had on any boat ever. It replaced a much older servo pendulum gear and is just amazing in the band of wind and sea conditions it covers. In particular its ability to steer safely on a dead run even when surfing is incredible, as is its light weather performance. I kept thinking, it just can’t be this good.

I also dislike having to faff about with things on boats. With the Hydrovane I haven’t had to try any of the settings, van angle etc., just engage and sit back.

So thanks a million it’s the best money I ever spent.

Cheers from sunny Penzance.

Paul S
