MONSUN 31 – 3,5 TIMES ROUND THE WORLD
In summer 2015 I finally installed the windpilot! I ordered it new from Germany. It was indeed German quality! It does pay the price! I tested it first on my day trips to Bonaire and back to Curacao, another words, up the wind and down the wind. It worked like a charm in both directions! It is a magic! It steers the boat much better than Raymarine autopilot and uses no electrical power! Just wind and water. What else can I say: thank you, Peter Foerthmann for an excellent device that you invented! I should have invested in it from the beginning!

Installation was particularly easy for HR Monsun 31. All it takes is to drill four holes in the transom and bolt it through. I only had to move forward the solar panel and relocate the storage plate for my outboard from the stern railing to the side; another words, to free some space for the windvane. WEITERLESEN

REFERENCE TO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL POCKET CRUISER

Hi Peter, two years have passed since we were in contact last… how time flies and how the world has changed in the most unpredictable way.
How are you and family? How is your company surviving in these strange times?

Adriana and I are good. We live in the Italian country side and have relative freedom and safety as we have land around our house, hence quite some space. Our Dana is a little abandoned as we are unable to travel out of our ‚region‘, Umbria. Last winter we had put her on land in a yard with plans to work on her but we weren’t allowed to come to the yard in the end. We only had her cleaned, fresh antifouling, anodes and back in the water. The piece you had sent us to adjust the windpilot with a line was not installed to my regret but it did not stop us from a fabulous sail to Sardegnia again last summer… We sailed for 6 weeks with one day in a port, the rest at anchor and in perfect safety. It was wonderful and am just putting together another video.

The encl. video got over 80K views so it should have given you some marketing.
Take care
Adri / Wouter

14 YEARS OF PEACEFUL SAILING WITH COLIN ARCHER
Hi Peter, here is our original gaff rigged wooden Colin Archer.
15 years ago, we bought her in Norway and the year after, we sailed her home, to our place in Rome.

In earlier time, she was not equipped with any kind of autopilot so, we sailed manually, at the helm for 3000 miles: North Sea, British Channel, Atlantic Ocean via Bay of Biscay, Gibraltar, Mediterranean Sea through Baleari and Sardinia Islands to get her home.
One year later, we yearned for a windpilot and after a some research, we targeted your Pacific. We flew up to Hamburg to met you, have been impressed by your production, and got that marvellous item!!!
After installation, we enjoyed the beauty and comfort of a self steering system, even more !!! We are still using it with pleasure and there are endless thanks to you for his fantastic creation!

All our compliments!!!
Giovanni&Therese, DRAUMEN
