Davis wind meter
 

A friend gave me one of those Davis Weather Wizard units with an
anemometer. No way I was gonna take the effort to put this sorta
flimsy lookin thang on my masthead, so....
I bought an 8' long 1" diameter AL tube, used hose clamps to hold it
vertically against a stern stanchion and put the anemometer on it so
its maybe 12' above the water. Looks like hell but that makes me
happy, at least i didnt use duct tape.
Anybody have any thoughts on these things? Crap or not?

Now you are looking like a liveaboard cruiser.
