FANTASIE 37 – 50.000 SM BETWEEN GREENLAND – ANTARCTICA
Hi Peter, It’s been a long time since we were in touch. But since then we have logged 50000 miles between Greenland and Antarctica with everything in between. However we are now in New Zealand and will stay here until May 2025. Our Windpilot has generally worked very well for us. The only real issue has been the servo rudder attachment to the cast aluminum joint. I have been forced to make a number of various reinforcement to avoid breakage but now it’s alright, I believe.

EIN DANKESCHÖN VON HOHER SEE – MIDADLANTIC
Lieber Peter, ein kleiner Gruss und ein grosses Dankeschoen von hoher See. Das beste Stück bei uns an Bord trägt deinen Namen … zu Recht, denn wir sind Beifahrer und sehen Dir immer wieder fasziniert „bei der Arbeit zu“.
Herzliche Gruesse
Siegfried. SV Aletis

SAILING TO THE NORTH WITH 46ft ALUMINIUM ONE OFF
Hi Peter, 
We are enthusiastic users of the pacific plus. It’s incredible how the vane brings us to far destinations across the sea. I’ve been enjoying the view of the blade going back and forth during many of my watches. 
We’ve bought the boat about 5 years ago,
and it came with the Pacific plus. Since we bought it the connecting rod (< 98 part number 20 >98 part number 151, has been slightly bent) I could probably make one myself if required, but I am wondering if there’s spare parts available.
Also the Sticker with the wind angles has gone over the years. The ship was built
in 1999 and has been equipped with the Windpilot ever since. Is it possible to order a new sticker, so that looks all fresh and new?
Winter Sailing greetings from TromsØ,
