CIRCUMNAVIGATION DONE – 33.000 SM

Hello Peter,
We are now nearing New Zealand (3 months & 2000 miles to go) and our Pacific windvane has worked very well since we bent the pushrod off South Africa. It has steered us 33,000 miles around the world, in 3 years, to this point.
Best regards

VICTOIRE 933 – DER ZARTE BEGINN EINER FREUNDSCHAFT

Hallo Herr Förthmann,
die Pacific konnte ich in Vaasa anbringen. Der Abbau der Heckleiter hat gedauert aber sonst ging alles ganz glatt. Ab Vaasa hatte ich achterlichen Wind, das hat der Windpilot gut umgesetzt. Soweit ich das beurteilen kann, werden die Pacific und ich gute Freunde.
Viele Grüße aus Mässkär/Jacobstad!

NAOMI JAMES´ GALLANT 53 – EIN SCHIFF MIT LEGENDE

Hi Peter,
Hope this email finds you well!

I wanted to give you a short update on the performance of the very old Windpilot that I bought and installed on Ponta Delgada, the Azores.

Since this is my very first experience with a windvane I must say that I am totally blown away by its performance on this boat. As you know this is the old boat that Lesly Williams sailed the Ostar with in 1968 three months after she was launched, he came in second by the way. She is even better know as the boat that was lent to Naomi James by Chay Blyth to become the woman to ever sail around the world single handed in 1978. The boat was equipped with a Sailomat of the first generation, despite the very many issues she had with the Sailomat she stated in her book that the adventure success had been very much dependant on the self steering.

KOOPMANS 41 CONCORD AROUND AND AROUND JAPAN

Peter, as promised! Not the best picture, the morning light is not very nice and there was not sufficient depth to come closer.
All is well, the windpilot is working fine after so many years

PEDRICK 41 BALD STARTKLAR FÜR EIN ZWEITES LEBEN

Eine ganz typische Unterhaltung, wie ich sie liebe und mit der weltweiten cruising community vielfach führe. Michelle und Chris haben eine solide PEDRICK 41, die mit der CHEOY LEE 41 identisch ist, unter ihre Fittiche genommen und monatelang vollständig revidiert. Nun geht es bald los, die Reise geht über New Foundland nach Europa. Das Versprechen steht: Christ bezahlt das 1. Bier in Hamburg. Weiterlesen →
