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

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

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

EINMAL AZOREN – EINFACH BITTE!
Ja, das war/ist mein Wunsch und Ziel.
Einfach?
Im doppelten Sinn gemeint. Einerseits ohne ‚Rückfahrt-Ticket‘, anderseits bitte ohne Probleme! Nun dazu später mehr, erstmals Zug um Zug, vom Anfang an.
HOW I SAILED AROUND THE WORLD IN MY 32 FT YACHT
She was one of the saddest boats I’d ever seen, but her lines were beautiful. Olleanna, an Olle Enderlein-designed OE 32 with a dark blue hull, caught my eye in a way that few boats ever have; it was love at first sight as I stared down at her from the dock at the Royal Cape Yacht Club in Cape Town.
