Monitor Wind Vane Self-Steering
November 09, 2018 by TheSailingChannel.TV | Language: EN Play Time: 00:05:48 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
On his solo, nonstop record setting around the Americas circumnavigation, Matt Rutherford relied on a Monitor windvane. Technically, he was “coastal cruising” a few hundred miles offshore and through the Arctic’s Northwest Passage. However, on his 10K mile Pacific leg from Alaska to Cape Horn, winds did blow him nearly to Polynesia.
This video Extra describes the self-steering Monitor Wind Vane Matt Rutherford used aboard St. Brendan and features an interview with Hans Burnwell, owner of Scanmar International and inventor of the Monitor.
For the full story of Matt’s incredible life and singlehanded voyage, watch our documentary, Red Dot on the Ocean: The Matt Rutherford Story. https://vimeo.com/ondemand/reddotontheocean
