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.

En esta ocasión salí a navegar aún de noche a las 6am, aquí ya eran las 9am y el mar estaba muy fuerte, entre 25 nudos y rachas de 40 nudos con olas de entre 3 y 4 metros. Me lo pasé muy bien. Mi intención era navegar a otra isla a unas 70 millas Náuticas, pero después de 4 horas decidí dar la vuelta y buscar refugio en el muelle más cercano. Si te gusta mi contenido, dale un Me Gusta 👍🏻 se agradece 🙏🏻 y Subscríbete ⛵🌊⚓🏴‍☠️ Saludos
