hi borealis sorry have not been on cruisers forum for a month or so .have sailed boat over to new zealand and will be here for another month or so then sail back to sydney .yes I used my wind vane the whole way over and I love it.am happy to share design but am better drawing it on paper and some how get that to you.talk to you soon.

Bruce. Just read your post about your self steering vane. Because we have the same hull and design, rudder and similar displacement, I would like to see your design more closely.
