Subject: Parts for Sal Darago

Dear Will,

On 25/10/2007 I bought a VXA 2D M/HH Hydrovane unit. I fitted it to Sal Darago, our 36ft Westerly Solway. In 2008 my wife and I set off around the world. We returned to Lancashire, England in the summer of 2014 having achieved our aim.

Unfortunately, on a close inspection, we find that “Heidi” our Hydrovane, which steered magnificently at all times under sail, has three items which need replacement and one spare is also required. Apart from a new dress while we were in the tropics, no other work was required on Heidi, which is quite a testament.

• Vane knob or clamp (part 32)
• Axis knob or clamp (part 33)
• Bottom collar with set screw (part 26)
• Locking pin and retaining clip (part not known)

…

Best wishes,

Jeremy Spencer
