J 130 – 80.000 SM – 36 YEARS – NO REPAIR YET
Dear Peter, I sail allready 36 years with your Pacific Windpilot, (still the same one) of which the last 30 years on my J130. About 80.000 Nm, and 4 Atlantic crossings later, most of the time steered by “Heidi” as we call her she needs a few new parts. Especialy the two cardanic joints need replacement because they have too much room. I send you a few pictures as well. Hope you will send these to my home adress, (my boat is in the Azores).

some minutes later my answer:
Good morning to the azores,
nice morning reading, much more effective rather than a cup of strong coffee … its more like honey for the soul of a manufacturer who just finished half a century of making Windpilots …
This is my proposial: please provide me with some nice eyefood pictures of you floating love in nice and warm climate, sunny sailing area … and I will send the needed parts free of charge …
Do we have a deal?
all the best
Peter
