Utilizing a sapphire jewel suspension bearing, large fin/low inertia vane and easy-to-read, fully-adjustable tacking tab system, the 15-inch Windex Vane from Davis Instruments is ideal for racing and cruising sailboats from 15 feet to more than 100 feet.

This vane works in as little as 2/10 knot wind. It registers the smallest air puffs and is highly-responsive to breeze changes. Extensively tunnel tested at wind speeds up to 80 knots, the sturdy vane will provide years of trouble-free service when installed correctly.

Highly visible, the Windex Vane has a reflective underside for night viewing. Simple to install, it includes a through-bolt or tap mounting socket, as well as stainless steel studs, washers and nuts. Extending above the vane, a bird-proof spike keeps birds from landing.

The retail price of the 15-inch Windex Vane is $59.99. The Windex Series also includes models for whip antennas and small boats and dinghies.
