Hi all. I'm on the lookout for a complete Hydrovane kit for the S&S 39 in case anyone stumbles across anyone selling. I'm planning a crossing in May and hope to have it installed by then.

One of the Golden Globe around the world yachts had a failure with his Hydrovane mounting kit just recently and I think he ended up retiring.

It'll be interesting to find out the cause of failure. Pretty robust and very popular system.

Put simply it was user error / modifications that brought its undoing.
