Works well on our Mac 25!

We love it, it works like a champ on our sailboat! The only negative thing I can say is the lack of assembly instructions, but it's a very easy assembly once you understand how the metal pins go into the top of the plastic piece with a tightened screw to secure it. After that we attached it to an L-bracket at the top of the mast so it could be easily screwed on and off every time we step on the mast and then let us know our angle to the wind as the wind changes every second. our day or weekendโ€ฆ

Pros
  • SUITABLE for boats over 4.6m (15ft)
Cons
  • thin

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. Itโ€ฆ

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

Ideal for sailor trailers

For the average sailor, much cheaper than the competition and made to the same standard. It is a nice, simple design that works as it should. It's probably not in the right place for a high-end race boat or 40ft yacht, but for the rest of us it's great. Compared to the Davis 15, the way it assembles and disassembles, much better for those who use this trailer for sailing or masting for winter, however, it's still just a piece of plastic and wire, a big bird can ruin it, You can install it badly

Pros
  • Wind indicator LENGTH 14-1/2" (368mm). FIVE OCEANS, 40 YEARS of developing quality marine and outdoor products
Cons
  • Functionality
