OVNI 32 AND THE ALPINEMOUNTAINGUIDES
Dear Peter, A quick note to say I’m delighted with the windpilot. It’s worked perfectly. Do you recommend I carry/buy any spare parts for it?
Thank you.

Dear Mister Foerthmann, On our Contest 42 we are using a Windpilot Pacific Plus and are very happy with it.

Hi Peter, I just installed my Windpilot light. It was the winter inside of the cabin in shelter. The windblade does not move freely and squecks. See video. How to lubricate? Thanks for fast advice. My trip starts.

10 MINUTES LATER: Pertti, the solution is so simple: Siliconspray everywhere and the salt chrystals will dissolve and disappear!

Hi Peter, Thank you for the rapid answer. I was hesitating between WD-40, oil and silicon. Silicon did it and the movement feels normal now
My boat is in Sicily and the water being very salty, I regret not rinsing the vane with sweet water before winter. Next time!

The vane has happily steered my First for four summers in Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily. I cannot imagine sailing without it!
Best regards,
