Product Details

The Davis Instruments 1260 Wind-Tels are precision-engineered shroud-mounted wind indicators designed specifically for sailing applications. These durable wind vanes provide instant visual feedback on wind direction and apparent wind angle, making them essential tools for sail trim optimization and tactical sailing decisions.

Key Features:

  • Port and starboard colored plastic vanes for easy identification from either side of the boat
  • Shroud mounting design prevents sliding or fouling during sailing maneuvers
  • Effective at any heel angle, responding reliably even in the lightest winds
  • Marine-grade metal components resist corrosion in harsh saltwater environments
  • Universal fit accommodates all standard shroud sizes
  • Includes 2 wind indicators per package

Ideal for racing sailors and cruisers alike, Wind-Tels mount directly to your standing rigging and provide at-a-glance wind information without requiring batteries or electronics. The contrasting colored vanes ensure visibility in all lighting conditions, while the proven shroud-mount design has made these a staple on sailboats worldwide.

Good products at a good price!<br>Never bought from them before, so I used Google Checkout, I always get nervous about buying from a new online store, but they came through just fine.<br>Shipping was a little expensive for the product I purchased and the shipping time, but was still cheaper than most anywhere else.<br>$12 to ship an automotive gauge [>2 lbs] and it was a 5 day ship.<br>Otherwise, a very good experience, B+ to A- just because of shipping cost/time.
