We hit something in the water, causing the rudder to flip up and the boat went hard to wind.<br \/>\nSo we hand steered to Luderitz, Namibia &#8211; 310 miles away &#8211; we love our pilot even more now! I think we had a combination of rudder up, from flotsam and a large wave slewing us round.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/windpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/image2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-16525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/windpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/image2.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/windpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/image2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/windpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/image2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/windpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/image2-1024x768.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/windpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/image3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-16526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/windpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/image3.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/windpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/image3-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/windpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/image3-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/windpilot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/image3-1024x768.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><br \/>\nLusi was designed for me by Paul Gartside and Englishman, designer and boatbuilder of Nova Scotia (now Long Island) &#8211; see Gartside Boats. She is a very good boat &#8211; best of the 5 keel boats I have owned. Our best run was 2030 nm in 11 days &#8211; an average of just under 185 miles. It was from Cocos Keeling to Rodrigues and the wind was about 25 &#8211; 30 knots on the port quarter. The pilot steered flawlessly the whole time. I am totally confident in its ability to steer in large quartering seas which are the most difficult.<br \/>\nAttached a couple more pics for you.<br \/>\nwith best regards from Namibia<br \/>\nMike<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>21.000 sm SAILING ON SV LUSI Hello Peter, we have done 21,000 miles since we launched Lusi ( coldmoulded DIY Gartside design ) in April 2015.
