After 24 years Guapa's "wind system" has called in sick. Unlikely to recover.
I've decided to replace it with a Tacktick wind thinghy - heard good things about it. Quite a few people seem very happy with it.
Mean reason for going wireless is this: Guapa's keel-stepped mast is 19.6m. Any conventional system would be a nightmare to rig.
So, decission on what to get has been made. Now where to get it? So far, the cheapest I've found is Seamark Nunn at £549.95. Also, that's about 2 mls from where I keep the boat - no P&P. And should anything go wrong - the shop's just down the road.
Anyone know anywhere (UK based) cheaper? Boat Show specials? Anything?
Thanks
