    Especially in shifty conditions I find it helps me keep the right angles and sail trim.

  • While looking for a picture I found the original US Patent for that vane, thought it was interesting.

  • It is essential. Keep it perpendicular to hull going downwind & jibe when it heads you away from mark (or point you're heading for) Pete
  • it's in your site line...it's realtime, you don't have to look up at the top of the mast. hate to sail without one...lost the red flag, made more...lost the rubber cap/retainer and used wire nut...lost ssrod, made another. that and teltales.
