Mit recht hohem Anzeigendruck wirbt eine deutsche Firma auf Facebook mit einem dreitägigen Seminar für die Ausbildung zum Boots-Sachverständigen. Kann das sein? Die Antwort ist nicht so einfach, wie man denkt.
Romain Attanasio schien die Vendée Globe nach seinem Mastbruch bei der Défi Azimut zu verpassen. Aber nun hat er Hilfe von einem Konkurrenten erhalten, bei dem er sich überschwänglich bedankt. Trotz 100.000 Euro Crowdfunding fehlt aber noch Geld.

SAILING TO GREENLAND AND NO WIND
Hello Peter, I am the happy owner of a OVNI 385 equipped with your Windpilot,
so far I am very happy with that team. but this summer I sailed to Greenland and I had a failure with the hydraulic pilot (some days there is no wind ! we had to steer during several days!!! so I really need a backup for this electric/hydraulic pilot. is it possible to use the wind-pilot as a backup ? Thanks for your advice

The short answer:
SV JOOLEY alongside SV JANINE – DICK KOOPMANS SEN.
Der Auftakt des Louis Vuitton Cup Duells zwischen Luna Rossa und INEOS Britannia verläuft so knapp, wie man es vor der Regatta vermuten konnte. Bei Windbedingungen am oberen 21 Knoten Limit erreichen die Italiener 52,3 Knoten in der Spitze können aber Ainslies Comeback nicht verhindern.
WITH A RIVAL 34 – IN THE REAL PACIFIC IN LAMOTREK
Hi Peter,
we have circumnavigated the world with Hope, a Rival 34, and had truly great utility from sailing with the Windpilot Pacific. It kept us safe along many many miles.

ABOUT OUR QUIET HELMSMAN AND RELIABLE WORK HORSE
Hi Peter, As for the steering, we were really happy with how it turned out to work on the Ovni from the day we started using it and still is. Easy to fit, easy to use and has been completely reliable all these years since you sent it down to us when we stayed in Italy. Having said that, I knew what I was getting as we had the same but older model on our previous yacht as well, which was a long keeled Fantasi 37. Quite frankly, I have never used better. Our quiet helmsman and reliable work horse. Lastly, thanks a lot for very good service with valuable advice from you when we started using it.
All the best
Tore

20 YEARS OF SATISFACTION WITH WINDPILOT
Vannes, Ile d’Arz, Belle Ile – Biscaya Christiania 2012
Dear Peter,
I have now sailed thousands of miles with my windpilot pacific since I aquired one in 2004 and are extremely happy. But I have a problem, I have lost, or cannot find, the chain used in the holder pictured. Can I order It from you, or is this a standard chain I can just buy in a boatshop?
Best regards from
Børre, RS 10 Christiania
