Hi Paul,
Thanks for your offer of assistance, and your input. I agree with you about the davits/windvane use not
normally coinciding, but I think the windvane will still encroach on my davit-slung inflatable’s
forward-facing pontoon whether or not the vane is in use. The Cape Horn will be much better in this regard
than most other vanes because it normally mounts quite close to the transom. Still, it must necessarily take
up some space back there. My dinghy is deflated and stowed at the moment, so I have not had a chance to
measure exactly how much room there is between it and the transom. Anyway, as I said it’s not a deal killer
for me.
I confess I’m always looking for a deal on boat gear. I believe 18 or 20 of us did all right negotiating a
favorable bulk order price on mast pulpits a few months ago. (I finally mounted mine and am very pleased with
them.) If there are a number of us in the group who ultimately decide to go with a Cape Horn windvane, perhaps
we could band together again and negotiate ourselves a group rate. Anyway, it wouldn’t hurt to ask if it turns
out that several of us are ready around the same time.
