SV The Point – David Auld AU
FIRST SAILING EXPERIENCES WITH WINDPILOT IN AUSTRALIA

Hello Peter, Installation and commissioning went very well. There were no surprises and no need for further adjustments. I’ve used the unit in light conditions and just recently for a beam reach in 20-25 knot winds. As long as my sail trim is correct the Windpilot does a great job. I’m learning to reef my mainsail early to keep the helm balanced.
Thanks for your support and this great product.
Regards
David Auld
Dear mr Förthmann, As from the launch in 2009, my Bestevaer 55′ Albatros (approx. 26 tonnes) has been equipped with both a Pacific Windpilot and a B&G autopilot. Both the pilots are being used seperately and have served us well over the years and still do.
Bonjour Peter, Just to tell you that we arrived at La Martinique few days ago after a 14 days quiet transat from Cabo Verde. We use the Windpilot all the time with full satisfaction. It worked just incredibly fine ! We are very happy and trustful.
Once again, thank you so much Peter for the kind support you gave us.










Nach einer Mail voller Begeisterung über Carlos dem Windpilot, kam eines Tages eine Mail von Herbert, der anderen Seglern bei der Einrichtung ihrer Heckverzierung aus der Klemme hat helfen können.
Moin lieber Peter, wir möchten Dir & Euch für dieses schöne Jahr, den netten Kontakt, den schönen Austausch – und besonders auch für unsere feine „Steuer-MAUS“ nochmal besonders herzlich DANKE sagen! Das war toll zusammen – und Gesche & ich denken unheimlich gerne auch an den schönen Kurzbesuch bei Euch und in meiner Heimatstadt zurück!
