Woody is the most indispensable and reliable crew member
- our favourite helmsman! Never tired, moody or seasick – Hurray!! for Woody our
Windvane!!
Woody got its name from the actual windvane, comprising of a piece
of wood that is flipped over by the wind if the boat goes off course.
An ingenious mechanical system with simple lines attached to the
steering wheel to keep the boat on track. Its responsiveness only
gets better when the wind gets stronger. However, it asks for a
well-balanced boat, so you should take care in trimming the sails,
which one should be doing anyway!
