David inspects an Aries vane gear being fitted

Davids Ocean Bound flying along in the Southern Ocean with self steering by Aries vane gears.

The interest David Scot Cowper has in the Aries lift up vane gear goes a little deeper than most would think,for it was David who twice sailed around the world on his yacht Ocean Bound,once each way,westwards and eastwards using the exact same make of Aries vane gears.David has a lot of respect for the make.
