Hi David if you have a fax number I can send you the information on the Sailomat system as images are much easier to fax.
Thanks Steve

Good Morning Steve......sorry but I don't have a fax machine. Pretty backwards up here....no cell phone....1940's black rotary dial phone... and dialup internet so please keep files small. Unless there is something terribly wrong with it or it won't fit my application you can pretty much consider it sold. How did it perform with your boat (very nice boat by the way) and why are you selling it? Cheers, David

Hi David I will send you an email and try to attach a photo but my camera is not working well. The sailomat worked well for us and also functions as an auxiliary tiller if need be and can be pulled and stored when not in use. We are selling it in favor of a B&G integrated instrument and autopilot system be a little patience I will try to get this out today and attach the photo. Thank you we enjoy our boat and are finishing up our fall race series. Steve

Hi Steve -
Is this a 70's era Sailomat 3040? Was it previously installed on your Wauquiez? Will you pack and ship it to the east coast? I will check your profile and send you my contact info if possible.

David is correct, and I am the second person. Now if I were to say: Mambo is the second person, *that* would be the third person. For now, there is no third person. -)
