Review on 🌬️ Precision Five Oceans Wind Indicator: 14-1/2 inches FO-2080 with Sensitive Ball Bearing by David Dreher

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disappointing durability, can be good in light winds

I bought this wind vane 1.5 years ago but only installed it 6 months ago when I had the chance to climb the summit poles access. I only set the blinker not the directions as I have a rotating mast. And due to the circumstances, I've only been at sea once, so I don't have much experience with it. It worked well on this trip. However, I noticed yesterday that the actual display was gone and only the stick was left. Of course I can't ask the reason for the rejection since he's 30 feet tall. It only had normal wind with no downwind so I don't think it would be strong enough in heavy seas. There were no hurricanes here. I am extremely disappointed.

Pros
  • STRENGTH Blades and fully adjustable tack system ensure years of use
