How to Sail with a Wind Vane - Part 2
Channel: Bernhard R. Fischer
Date: 2023-10-14

In this 2-part series of videos I explain the Provane self-steering unit. In this 2nd part I show how to setup and sail with the it.

I sailed with the Provane 9000 nautical miles so far, from Croatia to Iceland and now I'm on the way back. It worked perfect under all conditions from light winds as well as in winds of force 8 on the North Atlantic.

This self-steering unit is a very robust and reliable product made by Imre Aljas in Estonia.
