What to choose

Mister vee offer two different models that have a lot in common:
Stainless WALT and Mr. Vane.
A third model is currently under development.

Mister Vee features
Each model has its distinct advantages but in general, this is what makes them different from the other brands on offer:

Super sensitive
By using ball bearings in all wind driven axis, Mr. Vane and Stainless WALT are possibly the most sensitive systems around. But why would you care about that?

Windvane self steering systems use change in the direction of apparent wind to steer the boat. The lower the friction in the system is, the less apparent wind is needed to start working. As a result, you can do this:

Many mounting options
Stainless WALT offers the most universal mounting system ever. It will work in just about every situation including transom hung rudders. No need to have expensive custom brackets made!

Mr. Vane offers mounting kits with even more options, including centrally mounted outboard engines!

Customisable
The way Mister Vee systems were designed differs a lot from conventional systems.
As a result the individual parts are simpler and this makes for very easy customisation should you desire it. You can have this done for you or do the work yourself.

Servo pendulum system
Giving you the most stable and comfortable steering.

Designed for easy self assembly
This means a very affordable system in a small box: cheap world wide shipping.

Tiltable vane axis
For extra adaptability to conditions.

USD Windvane
Mister Vee is the only brand offering this feature, giving the best performance on running courses and built-in adaptation to heel.  

   

Theft prevention
Because both the windvane and the pendulum rudder can be easily removed from the transom, the valuable bits can be stored inside the boat without any hassle.

What is an USD vane?

Mister Vee is the first and only company to offer systems with a windvane blade that rotates underneath its axis. Why is this important?

On down wind courses with little heel a normal vane has maximum steering ability which is mostly not necessary and can easily cause oversteering. USD windvanes are better suitable for down wind courses: they prevent oversteering. This discovery was made a couple of years ago by Dutch wind vane steering expert Jan Alkema who published his findings in sailing magazines and on the internet.

Assembling your system

Both Stainless WALT and Mr. Vane have been designed for self assembly. This is why you get unmatched performance at an unrivalled price. For easy assembly a step by step manual is provided as a download.

Tools

Most of the tools that are needed for the assembly can be found in a normal DIY toolbox. For a complete list of the required tools click here.
