A Broken Tiller in 45 Knots of Wind On The South Island of New Zealand

Episode 350 : Season 11 : The South Island of New Zealand - Aotearoa

Hello Friends,
On this episode I depart Maori Bay in Pelorus Sound with a lovely sailing 13 knots of wind forecasted as I make my way to Queen Charlotte Sound. As I rounded Cape Jackson I found myself in 25+ knots of wind that soon turned into 40+ knots as I entered the sound.

My tiller and tiller head broke as I battled the building winds and I found myself near land in 45+ knot gusts with no way to steer the boat...

The MVP of the day was certainly my https://hydrovane.com
