Hi
I've now got to the stage where I have a reasonably balanced rig on my Offshore 8 Metre. I do have a tiller pilot which works ok but was considering if a windvane would be a more sustainable option for longer passages - less power draw would be one big advantage.
Has anyone fitted one or any comments on fitting one on to the transom of an O8M ? Some people have managed a home build version - the commercial kits seem quite expensive

I've fitted one to my Offshore 8metre, made by South Atlantic. Should be easy to google it and if you go to photos you can see a pic of it installed on my boat. |

Any comments on performance ?- does the gear do what you want it to under a range of conditions? |
