DavisWindex250The Windex 10 Sport wind vane is for small keelboats, sport boats and dinghies. Windex's continue to offer exceptional performance and the best value of any wind indicator worldwide. The secret is in the sapphire jewel suspension bearing, large fin-low inertia van, and easy-to-read, fully adjustable tacking tab system.

Reflector tape on the vane and tacking tabs make the Windex 10 Sport easy to see day and night. Windex vanes are sturdy and when installed properly, offer many years of use. They have been wind tunnel tested to wind speeds of 80 knots!

The Windex #3120 10Sport has a 10" (25 cm) vane. Includes glass reinforced polycarbonate J-Base for side, top or front of mast mounting on most dinghies, smaller boats and sport boats. Stands just 9.25" (23.5 cm) tall and weighs 1.2 ounces (31 g).
