The wind vane is a Voyager, an excellent piece of gear designed and made in Canada. In addition to a circumnavigation beginning (and, of course, ending) in Trinidad, the wind vane steered the boat up and down the East Coast, across the North Atlantic and then the Med to Turkey, back again to Panama, to Galapagos, the Marquesas, Tonga, New Zealand, Vanuatu, Cairns, around the top of Australia to Darwin, to Bali, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, diagonally across the Indian Ocean to La Reunion, to Richards Bay, South Africa, around the Cape of Good Hope (through the fearsome Agulhas current), and diagonally back across the South Atlantic. I have no financial interest in Voyager Wind Vanes, but I am very glad I chose one of their products.
