Will let you in on it. Today I contacted Cape Horn self-sterring/ yves. By e mail. I have finnaly make the desicion to order a new wind vane to this fall! I once sead I didn't like the CApe Horn outbord model, but I have change my mind since I've seen one for real! Looks like a sturdy piece, and will suit me fine! Expensive but realiable, what I need! so now there's no turning back...The hard working, money saving suede... see yaa ;D

Ntica:

Congratulations on ordering a new windvane from Cape Horn.
After having met Yves a few years ago in Annapolis and talking with a friend who installed one on his Cape Dory 28 last year, I would definitely choose the Cape Horn for my own boat. The company is supposed to be extremely helpful with installation questions and service.

Please keep us posted on how this goes.

Best,

I just bought a Cape horn wind vane last month. I have yet to install it.
Yves and Eric were the single most helpful and responsive vendor I have dealt with in my complete refit of Mathilda.

My friend and yard neighbor loves the Cape Horn on his CD28. He had to call Yves and Eric a few times during installation, and he reports that they couldn't have been more helpful.

Good luck!

I wish we could get that cloud cover and wind here in the summer months, mid-atlantic has cloud cover like that but its usually a tstorm when it clears up its like a exremely large sauna!!!
