Sorry, I don't have any drawings. My boat is in Sweden, I'm in Shetland, so there's no way I can measure it for you; it is very solid, however, and I often stand on it when boarding from the dinghy.

Originally it was fitted by the previous owner. Since it features on the Windpilot website, perhaps the company has details? Peter Furthmann is very helpful.

Peter,

Congratulations with the almost purchase of a boat! In case it might be helpful, I attach the F33/35 transom measurements I took years ago when I bought a Voyager windvane. The manufacturer made a custom aluminum casting for me to fit around the rudder head. My measurements apply ti the F33/35 built in the UK and for the smaller rudder that was used after (I think) 1983.

Gerald, Michel

Thanks for the helpful input. As the planned purchase of this boat was arranged with quite a tight time schedule I could not find someone here in my hometown Bremen, who was willing and able to build a stainless gentry for my Windpilot before 1 June. Thats the time we pack everything into our car and and off we go for Kerry.

As my wife and I will stay in Ireland for one month and then drive home again to get the car back and celebrate my mothers birthday, we will not need the Windpilot for that period. In July I will fly back to Cork together with a sailing friend of mine and plan to bring the boat to Britanny via Wales and Cornwall. In settled weather we can use the wheel pilot and otherwise we have to steer by hand. After all the distances to cover are not that lengthy. In Britanny I have to decide either to turn left and head home through the Channel or cross the Biscay to Spain and Portugal for this autumn. The third possibility is to leave the boat near Brest where we know a French couple who are currently building a large Wharram Cat with an interisting Swing Wing Rig but thats another story.

Sorry for going a bit off-topic here, but for completeness I add an image of the boat as well.
