Sailing Triteia · vídeo

Qué cubre este vídeo

The Hydrovane wind vane self-steering system provides redundant steering for Triteia, having logged 13,000 miles of ocean passages since its installation in Hawaii.3:24 Unlike servo-pendulum systems that rely on the vessel's main rudder, the Hydrovane features an independent, balanced rudder that serves as an emergency backup.3:15 The system proved critical during a 30-to-40-knot wind event in New Zealand’s Marlborough Sound, where it maintained control after the boat's tiller head failed.3:32 Maintenance of the unit includes replacing the UV-damaged vane cover, which requires a snug, drum-tight fit over the frame.7:06 Using silicone spray or dry lubricant eases the installation of the tight-fitting fabric.4:23 The offshore spare kit provided by the manufacturer includes essential pins, bolts, and Loctite for long-distance reliability.1:13 Proper tensioning of the cover and correct lacing of the control lines ensure the vane performs effectively in varying wind conditions, particularly in strong breeze where the system holds a steady course.6:25
