The boat I have just bought has a wind indicator about 15" I guess as it is missing. It is of a type I have not seen before and wondered if anyone recognises it. It is made of black plastic and the missing (actually broken) vane swivels on a 6mm plastic rod about 12" long and is held on with a round s/s ball with a grub screw in it. I am not so broke that I can't afford a new one (yet) but would like to source a vane as it seems to be a nice piece of kit.

Does not sound like my (Great) Hawk http://www.hawkmarineproducts.com/wind.htm

Nor a Windex. http://www.windex.se/
