This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.

Monitor Wind Vane Steering



Here are two photos of the partially fitted Monitor wind vane steering. Notice that the boarding ladder is still in the water and the water paddle has not been fitted, nor have the control lines. From the side shot you can see that the air vane is too long and will have to be trimmed.

The installation is centered, plumb, and solid as a rock.

Also, the outboard motor will have to be moved to allow cleaner air to the Monitor.
