Lost Raymarine ST60 Wind Anemometer

[MattK1969]

Got the boat back in the water last week, which was the usual mixture of lows and highs. A big low was to find I have lost or had stolen the anemometer which fits at the top of the mast. Pretty pricey to replace. Anyone got one second hand they are repalcing with Garmin etc? The atcual model fits into the ST60 system, but pretty sure several models are interchangeable. Thanks in advance.

Many anemometers are lost as result of bird damage. Here Cockatoos love them. They obviously derive considerable pleasure and satisfaction by destroying them, one cup at a time.

It seems most unlikely, unless your mast was out and lying accessible, that anyone would climb a mast to steal an anemometer, without stealing other items.

The loss should be covered by insurance, if it is so pricey.
