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.

La Martinica ormai sa un po’ di casa, del resto è stato il primo pezzetto di terra che abbiamo visto dopo 14 giorni interi di mare. Ed è proprio qui che ieri abbiamo voluto spendere gran parte delle nostre energie a piedi, con sudore e fatica. Potevamo andare in gommone? Sì. Potevamo andare in taxi? Sì. Ci avremmo messo 1/10 del tempo? Sì. Ma ragazzi, qui non ci si muove. Serve usare le gambe, pompare un po’ di sangue e rimettere in funzione il nostro corpo. Dopo la giornata di ieri ci ributtiamo sul lavoro con rinnovate energie. È il bello di fare sport. Ad ogni modo, questo lunedì ha un sapore speciale. Questa sera infatti prendiamo la macchina a noleggio e andiamo a recuperare i nostri cari amici di Vicenza all’aeroporto! Fa sempre bene al cuore salutare pezzi di casa che vengono a trovarti:) Con l’ augurio di un meteo favorevole, andiamo a dormire. Domani lavoro e lavori a bordo. Dopodomani si riprende il largo. Restate aggiornati! Noi come sempre torniamo domani. 🫶 AC
