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.

Ormai inseriti nel quotidiano via vai di Brindisi. Abbiamo praticamente messo le radici, anche Julia farà fatica a staccarsi di qua. Il meteo ci ha detto di aspettare e noi lo abbiamo ascoltato. Questo ci ha permesso di approfondire conoscenze, farne sempre di nuove e scoprire i meandri della città. Non oggi. Oggi abbiamo lavorato, mangiato pranzo, lavorato, mangiato un gelato, lavorato, fatto cena. Il tempo è stato uggioso, grigio, spento. Per questo l’abbiamo sfruttato per portarci avanti. Chi ha tempo non aspetti tempo! Diceva mia nonna. Di tempo ne abbiamo, eccome! A breve ripartiremo, riprenderemo il mare. Non che ora non siamo al mare, per carità. Ma riprenderemo le navigazioni e, forse, anche le notturne. Questa pausa in Puglia ha preso più tempo del previsto, ora bisogna risalire e sfruttare ogni finestra meteo buona ci capita a tiro. Sole = miglia. Luna = miglia. E così sarà, con quale strato di vestiti in più e con qualche miglio mancante in meno ogni giorno che passa. Ci vediamo domani! Buona notte marinai nel cuore😘 Andrea
