JOHN HAYES
Hi Paul Our Rutland disintegrated in 50 55 knot winds off New Zealand South Island Was told by an experienced French sailor that the Rutland we had was only rated to 40 knots We replaced with a silent wind 2000 (?) higher up the mizzen than the Rutland had been to clear main topping lift etc Works well with higher output and no vibration but some background blade noise which is not an annoying issue. The brake system either auto or manual works very well But yes expensive Oops! John Hayes Nga Waka Santorin hull 17 Wellington NZ
