Applications in the nautical field

A wind indicator like the Windex is a practical aid for sailing, as it allows you to immediately visualize the apparent wind direction and make adjustments consistent with the point of sail. In particular, this model with close-hauled angle indicator is useful when fine-tuning:

• Sail trim while sailing, with attention to tighter points of sail.
• Optimization of trim upwind, thanks to the angle reference.
• Support for navigation in cruising, when a simple and immediate visual feedback is desired.
• Maintenance and replacement of an existing wind indicator with a model of the same category.

It is an accessory typically installed in a high position (for example at the masthead), where the reading is more effective and less influenced by turbulence generated by the deck and superstructures.

Usage and installation notes

To obtain a correct reading, it is important that the wind indicator is installed aligned and in a position that allows the arrow to move freely. During installation and periodic checks, it may be useful to:

• verify that there are no interferences antennas, lights, sensors, or other equipment present at the masthead;
• check that the wind indicator is well secured and that the movement is free;

If you are replacing an existing marker, it is advisable to compare the arrow length 380 mm and the support configuration with the current installation, in order to reduce time and adaptation interventions.
