The name Nellie Kay came from my amazing 5 year old Granddaughter.<\/h2>\n

She inspires me every day of my life!<\/h2>\n

My newest crew member is \"Ella\". Ella is what I named my \"Hydrovane\" that I just finished installing. \u00a0Although I do have an autopilot, a Hydrovane doesn't take any power and steers the boat entirely by the wind and has its own separate rudder. \u00a0This provides great redundancy if I were to have a problem with the boat's rudder, or steering. The Hydrovane is a well proven system that's been on a ton of the solo global race boats.<\/h2>\n

\"Ella\" is also my other Granddaughter who's 16 months old and I'm pretty sure she'll be doing most of the steering on my way around the globe!<\/h2>\n
