From: "Hugh Freebairn" <hughfree at hotmail.com>

I sailed across the Pacific a couple of times on a monitor vane ahich I 
considered to be worth every penny of the used $1500 price I paid for it.  I 
wouldn't go across an ocean without one.  Before this monitor I had an RVG 
which was a piece of junk.  I'm planning a new vane for my A30 #442 "Aliage" 
in the spring and so far Yves Gelinas's vane looks the best to me.  He has 
documented on video that it will stear in less than 5 Kts. of wind; 
something my faithfull old monitor would never do.  Also the monitor is a 
lot heavier.  If anyone has heard anything bad about a Yves Gelinas Cap Horn 
vane I'd sure like to hear it before I purchase one in the spring.
