Okay, Doug. Please describe the windvane setup on your own sailboat. Oh, you
don't have a windvane OR a sailboat? Well, can you then describe the windvane on
a sailboatt you USED to have?


Sure.
An Aries on a Saga 43, mounted slightly off center.

Then I have also used an English built windvane on a Whitby
42 ketch.

The first wind vane I ever used, I built myself and used on
a series of boats. One was a bubble-top Columbia 26, another
was the King's Cruiser owned by my father.


.... Oh, you've never had a sailboat with a windvane?


What gives you that idea?

Okay... What's that Doug? You say that your crusing in sailboats consisted of
dragging a Hunter 19 on a trailer down the highway? WOW!


Not only that, I have a buddy who claims to have radar on a
C&C 27.
