  Good video. Hydrovanes are an important safety, autopilot option. There are other wind vane steering rigs. The one's that operate the boat's rudder, I think miss a critical factor -- what happens if your rudder is broken? The Hydrovane is a completely independent rudder. (And sure if you're using it hitting something could damage both rudders.) I've got a Hydrovane on my boat, never used it. Only started fiddling with it the other day. My boat is set up for ocean crossings, she's been to New Zealand (from California). Blade rudder, up graded, but still a blade rudder. With the Hydrovane, my main Autopilot, a stick auto pilot, I've got two independent rudders, two tiller options, wind steering. I'm ready to go anywhere including the dreaded Orcas off Spain. The biggest expense might not be the unit, it might be the installation. I have a sugarscoop aft so the Hydrovane is on some strong tubing more than a meter long. You do want to get the best possible installation. (I'd like to see some boats with Hydrovanes, aft dinghy davits, and maybe sugarscoops. ) I figured out one trick. The adjusting line. I don't have it rigged with the continuous loop. I always have a lot of paracord onboard so I tried that. Without the pulley(block) on the bungee it kept skipping out of the grove on the roller. I just put a twist in that loop so there's an 'X' after the two little guide holes. Problem solved. This is probably a good trick to use in an emergency use if you're not fully set up. You need a lot of paracord. After making my adjustment I just wrap it around a fishing rod holder in a loose knot. I'd suggest to use the H'Vane for an emergency have 50' (15m) of paracord in the locker with the tillers, or hanging off the vane. Mark the mid point on the line with a contrasting color so when you put it on you have equal amounts of line on each side. Ideally I guess would be some kind of quick connection for the continuous loop. My Hydrovane is 20 years old, cotton lines everywhere, tightening the fabric on the vanes, retaining lines. Going to replace those. Easy. The two main pins were a bit encrusted. A little contact cleaner, plastic kitchen scrubber (on the pins) a little in and out.

  Why isn't the Peak Halyard on the same ratio as the Throat Halyard so they both rise at the same _rate?_

  The original wooden interior is beautiful.. it's a shame that it's been hacked together with modern materials and someone who has enough skills to get it done but not enough to make it look decent

  Could be a really great boat if Matthew can get rid of his cobbling/Red Green building skills and become a craftsman. Then you could really have something nice rather than hacked off bulkheads and unfinished everything..

  Very cool. Is there a best sequence for your sails to set and douse? I.e. first mizzen, then staysail, then perhaps main? And dousing the main before the mizzen, or is the no advantage either way?

  Hello again. If you find windward work a problem due to the mizzen mast bending aft when you sheet in hard then a solution is to rig a running forestay, just don't forget to unhook it when tacking! I rigged one on the Danish ketch Anna Moller and the skipper told me it made the world of difference, she has no engine so relies even more so on her sailing ability. Talking of wiring shackles, I didn't comment on it previously, watch that capsized shackle on the throat block! The pin needs to go through the eyebolt.
