Hi all, need to fit a new
wind instrument and don't have an easy way to get up the
mast (solo and hate doing it alone unless it is an emergency). I was looking at the
windvane, which steers the
boat no problem, mounted at
deck level and about 3ft behind the stern. Made me think that if that works why would it not
work if I mounted the
wind instrument on the back of the stern arch/solar panel mount which is directly above it? Anyone tried it?
Not super bothered about accuracy in terms of how many kn, if it reads 80% of true wind speed consistently thats fine. Main concern is that it shows any change and I can get a good idea of how much from my bunk!
