Guest Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 To get onto my mooring which is in a small basin I have to approach with it on my port side, turn to starboard and then 'reverse' in. Usually once the stern is 'in the hole' I hop out on to the pier and walk it back with the ropes, job done. The trouble is when to execute the turn to starboard varies depending on the wind with even a very mild breeze having an effect, hence I think its time for a wind indicator. Anyone got a recommendation for an effective model that can indicate subtle breezes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 ok point taken lol, but will the burgee pick up subtle wind, is it made of a very lightweight material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillCruising Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 We have burgee's on flag poles one on each of the cabin top grab rails they are different sizes and weights so we can tell the direction of the wind and assess its strength.
