Just discovered your channel ! Nice to see someone else cruising in a similar sized boat and similar setup. I'm with my 40 year old Beneteau First 24 around the Baltic. Just curious whether you considered a windvane ? Currently I also use permanently the Raymarine ... but this drains my batteries, the noise is a bit annoying and I am a bit worried that it breakdown at the wrong moment, hence looking at a Windpilot Pacific Light (when I can find reasonable priced second hand)
Thks for watching Martin. Loved sailing the Baltic! On a Beneteau First 29. I have an old windvane but didn't fit it because coastal sailing only needs a tillerpilot in my opinion. I have 360amp hours of batttery and 500w of solar so easily runs my Raymarine St600.
