The WINDEX Range Of Products
The WINDEX Wind Direction Indicator is an indispensible tool for sailors of all levels. It is
highly beneficial for beginners as it allows even a novice to determine the optimal course in on the wind sailing.
It is equally indispensible for the professional racing yacht captain who may have an array of advanced electronic
equipment at his disposal.
Main Benefits
1. Instant and accurate wind direction information helps you at all points of sailing.
2. On-the-wind - Achieving the best on-the-wind performance is crucial in racing and makes
everyday sailing more fun. By glancing at the WINDEX Wind Direction Indicator even a beginner can understand the
mechanics of sailing. On the other hand, experienced sailors will immediately find changes in wind direction
apparent, even as small as one degree. The ingenious system behind the WINDEX design makes
it possible to see these small changes at a glance, and when the vane and tabs are aligned you know that you are
sailing the optimal course.
3. Strong and light weight anodized aluminum tab holders and plastic tabs.
4. Running - Here the WINDEX Wind Direction Indicator will help in racing conditions by helping
in the decision to jibe or not to jibe and the optimal point to do so. It’s often the first yacht to notice a wind
shift for jibing that gains the advantage and may win a close race due to this decision alone.

different sizes of sailboats:

product range has come about due to an increasing demand from larger yachts. The WINDEXL model is
recommended for masts 17-30 meters (55 to 100 feet).

original size and it the best selling model that has delivered precise information to sailors all over the

17 meters.
WINDEX 10 - This model is a smaller version of the WINDEX 15 and
is recommended for keelboats with masts up to 8-9 meters (approximately 25-30 feet).

WINDEX range and has been specially designed for sailing dinghies.
