    This video is excellent. However I am confused because some commentators use the terms 'Hydrovane' or Windvane' systems which seems to imply they are different systems!!!! So my question Is; Is using the term 'Hydrovane' or 'Windvane' one and the same???

    • @searchingforcoconuts2248
      @searchingforcoconuts2248 Місяць тому

      thanks for watching and your amazing feedback, much appreciated. A wind vane is actually a system for showing from which direction the wind is blowing from, or any apparatus affected by the wind. I guess the correct term would be a wind vane self-steering system. Hydro refers to water so not sure how that fits in. Then some refer to the systems according to brand names, such as "Wind Pilot". While there are variations in design, they all perform the same function, keeping the vessel on a course in relation to the apparent wind. Hope this helps, thanks again
