Rockport New England Massachusetts #2
100 years old car perfectly suitable to a 50 year old boat and a wonderfully handcrafted built wooden sailing dinghy – all to be found in Rockport.
Indian summer close to Mystic Seaport where Elizabeth Meyer built up her historic boat yards
Rockport New England Massachusetts #1
Seemingly the time stands still in New England, at least in terms of the large fleet of traditional boats
Astonishingly the number of old Abeking & Rasmussen boats being beautifully restored is quite large in these waters
The very best time in the year to visit this lovely place is being called the Indian summer – why? Stupid question! Just follow the pictures…

German survival expert Ruediger Nehberg crossed the Atlantic twice. His first crossing was in a pedalboat using a Windpilot Atlantic for steering purposes. The second crossing took place in a TREE, starting in Senegal arriving safely in Brazil five weeks later. A Windpilot performed the tree. Have a look about Ruediger´s activities of today

Danish Spaekhugger on circumnavigation since 2005, currently in Pacific waters, the Windpilot Pacific Light takes a lot of the steering duties during this journey. Jochen wrote this message:
Lieber Peter
1000 Dank für die Schraube. Ich hatte in die abgebrochene Schraube, bei der noch ein Ende Gewinde nach war, eine dünne VA-Schraube eingestzt, und dann funktionierte das auch noch, hatte aber den Nachteil, dass der Kopf beim loseschrauben sofort ganz lose war. So war dann das morerate Nachregulieren der Einstellung schlecht möglich.
Wie dem auch sei, 1000 Dank für das Ding. Ich empfehle oft nicht nur die “Windpilot” Vane, sondern auch dich als Hersteller.
Gruss, Jochen read more

Reinke Super 11 made his way around the world successfully, onboard the Windpilot Pacific, responsible for the steering task. The skipper wrote this message:
Hallo Herr Foerthmann,
wir sind mittlerweile im kalten Sueden Brasiliens und stehen vor dem Sprung nach Uruguay. Onkel Heinrich, unsere Windpilot Pacific arbeitet gut und zuverlaessig und die Kupplung rutscht hoffentlich bald auch nicht mehr durch. Unser Besuch mit den Ersatzbremsringen kommt in ein paar Tagen. Habe zwei Abende lang versucht, ein dramatisches Einsatzfoto zu erhalten. Dann endlich das gewuenschte Ergebnis (s. Anlage) Koennen sie, wenn sie wollen gerne verwenden. Allways fair winds
