HARRIET

HARRIET
Harriet is our windvane auto pilot and a trusted member of the crew. You can see her on the stern, and for those who are unfamiliar with a wind vane, I thought I would give a little run down. She has a hat (the blue vane) and the wind works on the vane and by the gears works the paddle on the end of the leg (photo2) and this by a series of strings works the wheel. It is simple and very effective, especially in strong winds. She has a second bigger vane for very light winds. Best of all is she uses no electricity.
