Elaine Bunting – new editor of Yachting World

Elaine BuntingEVER-PRESENT
Whenever the ARC pitched its tent in Las Palmas, Elaine Bunting was sure to be there ready on the dockside at the Muelle Deportivo. Even back in the days of Jimmy Cornell, she represented the straightforward and unpretentious link between sailors who had already taken the plunge and set sail and their countless counterparts back home for whom a rear view of Las Palmas remained a more or less distant dream. Elaine understood implicitly that nothing – nothing – is more valuable to sailors still in the planning phase than real, practical experience. Continue reading

MangoldAlbin Vega zu Besuch auf Tahiti
Hallo Peter Foerthmann,
Auch als kompletter Segelneuling bin ich prima mit Schiff und Windpilot zurechtgekommen. Trotz Haiangriff und Ramming durch 40ft Trimarans bin ich super von Deutschland nach Tahiti gekommen.
Gruss aus Papeete

A new star at the sky – in the wake of the boat
P1000777Solar, Wind, Diesel, Welle – das Kielwasser ist vielleicht die bessere Energiequelle. Die modernen Schlepp Generatoren waren zuerst auf den internationalen ULDB Regattaschiffen zu finden, die ihren enormen Energiehunger mit Hilfe wirkungsvoller, gleichwohl leichter Generatoren ohne übergewichtige Batteriebänke haben stillen können. continue reading

Hi Peter,
Happy New Year to you.
My crossing of the Pacific was very successful – as usual the Windpilot was the most reliable piece of equipment on the boat, and steered us 100% of our way. Thank you again, and my apologies for the very late email.
Kind regards, Nick Jaffe. WEITERLESEN

Windpilot – product information – press release

P1000726PACIFIC PLUS – NEWS
The 45-year history of Windpilot is peppered with trailblazing innovations. Founded in 1968, the company hand-built its NORDSEE, ATLANTIK and PACIFIC systems in stainless steel until 1985, when the launch of the PACIFIC and PACIFIC PLUS sister models brought a move to sand-cast aluminium. The next major step forward came in 1998 with the launch of the modular PACIFIC LIGHT, PACIFIC and PACIFIC PLUS sister systems, which Windpilot manufactures using an industrial standard fully-CNC gravity die/permanent mold casting process. The range then expanded again in 2007 with the addition of the SOS Rudder system, which is available in SOS PACIFIC and SOS SOLO models.
The chronology of the company’s rudder system development follows a different pattern. CONTINUE READING
