I wrote a small blog post about connecting my tillerpilot to my windvane. You can check it out here http://whitespotpirates.com/how-to-connect-a-raymarine-tillerpilot-to-a-windpilot-pacific/ Anyone of you have a similar set up on your boat? My Raymarine autopilot is not strong enough for my 8.5t aluminum Reinke Super 10. That is why I decided to try out what I had read from other boat owners with the same problem: to connect my autopilot to my Windpilot Pacific to reduce the needed power for stearing. I still have to test it out on the water...but it seems to work so far. I was just wondering if it could possibily damage my windvane with this set up, that is why I wanted to ask Peter Foerthmann of http://www.windpilot.com/ for advice. Let's see what he thinks about it... Ahoy, Nike & Karl ATTENTION: this is REAL TIME ;) Just mounted that thing yesterday! I know this is all very confusing with the timing and stuff...sorry for that.

Monohulls vs Catamarans. We're a bit slow on posting this week, and that's because we're on a week long trip around the Ionian Islands in Greece on a Beneteau 51.1 with @Istion yachting. ▫️ Purely for research purposes of course. We'll be writing up our thoughts on monos vs cats. ▫️ What's the key takeaway? Sailing with friends is great fun whatever the vessel. #sailinglife #yachting #prosandcons @BeneteauYachtChannel
