The Windesign Pro Wind Indicator is built for sailors who want a responsive, accurate read on wind direction while training or racing. Its balanced vane arm sits on a low-friction pivot, so it keeps moving in light airs rather than sitting stalled, and gives a clear signal exactly when it matters most. A positive locking system holds the arm securely on the needle, reducing the risk of losing it during transit or boat park handling. Some sailors prefer red for contrast against the sail, and coaches running a fleet often use colour to tell boats apart at a distance. It fits the masthead of an Optimist and most other dinghies.
