Hello Team OCC,

Still prepping my boat please would you share your answers to my two part question…

“A/ What is the best wind-vane for solo crossings, preferably suitable for a Hanse385 sailing sloop with a drop-down transom?

B/ It would be an absolute bonus if my wind-vane could also have an element of hydro-generation?”

Thanks Dick.

Great to hear from you and I will most certainly share my findings. I appreciate your suggestions and will review them all before getting back to you.

I guess, once I have collected my options, I will see if I can arrange for members to comment on each one, or perhaps even vote !

Currently, the one advertised in Flying Fish is the “Hydrovane” which I believe may have a watt&sea hydrogeneration option, but I await their input before providing any feedback.

I will obviously await my mentor’s feedback too!

Wishing you fair winds,


Sonia
