In this 2-part series of videos I explain the Provane self-steering unit. In this 1st part I talk about my experience with it, how to mount it properly, and which possibilities you have to adjust the self-steering unit.
I sailed with it 9000 nautical miles so far, from Croatia to Iceland and now I'm on the way back. It worked perfect under all conditions from light winds as well as in winds of force 8 on the North Atlantic.
In part 2 I will then show how to sail with it under real conditions.
This self-steering unit is a very robust and reliable product made by Imre Aljas in Estonia.

I have had this PV for almost 2 years now and have worked a lot with Imre on early feedback and suggestions. I also worked with him to write the user manual. It’s good to see a user video, i have many videos of my own usage but never made them public. I sail the southern coast of NSW Australia which is the Tasman sea. Its a great product, i have it installed like on your boat, our boats are the same age. Imre was amazing at designing its mounting using measurements and photos I sent. We got it fitted perfectly. Im looking forward to seeing your in action videos. Happy to share mine if you are interested. But your experience over such extended miles and conditions interests me greatly. Best, Mark, SV Dreamtime

hello, thank you for this vid! i was wondering how you manage adjusting the rudder deflection button without pinching your fingers while in a (bouncing) boat at sea?

It wasn't ever a problem although of course one should be careful.
