HAKKA 100 SAILING 20.000 SM within 14 YEARS
Good morning Sir, my Windpilot Pacific is getting a bit old and I will need some Teflon-POM-Delrin spare parts.

I am living in France and my boat sailed already about 20 000 miles with the Pacific pilot and it works very well.
Best regards,
François Dumesnil

REPORT FROM LUNENBORG – NOVA SCOTIA
The Windpilot arrived in good shape. I’m impressed with its robustness. The castings/machining work is first class. Also, nice job with the literature paper stock. Good quality. Nothing worse than cheap photo copies. Thanks for the book !!!

The image is Lunenburg harbour. The Bluenose has men in the top yards preparing the masts for removal. 

My boat is on its mooring in the background. I’m sitting in a local pub, from where I just took the photo, enjoying a pint of stout.

Lunenburg is a very busy tourist destination. We see a large number of German tourists. But of course the town has a strong German heritage.

Zuma Whol ! George

Hallo Herr Förthmann, der Törn mit der Malu lief hervorragend, auch dank Ihres Windpiloten. Wir haben viel erkundet, dabei gar nicht so grosse Sprünge gemacht, und haben das Boot dann in Brest an Land gestellt. Weiterlesen →

BRUCE ROBERTS 45 SAILING WITH WINDPILOT DURING 25 YEARS
Dear Peter, Hope you’re doing well. Two questions:
I need spare part 160 ( red cap), as it broke into two (25y old), see picture. Can I order this with you? 
Furthermore, the turning of the shaft is rather heavy, we’ve cleaned the inside of the orange knob (#270) and put it back, with little result. Could you advise please?
Still very happy with our Windpilot! 
Danke, Hendrik

Dear Henrik, take off / out 270 and add some silicon spray to the inside casting 250 whilst turning 260 … it should just getting cleaned from salt etc. at the inside. Red cap will come via UPS
Regards Peter
