Windicator 400 Wind Direction Indicator with Reflectors

Premium Marine Wind Direction Indicator for Sailing & Ocean Racing

The Windicator 400 Wind Direction Indicator is a precision-engineered masthead wind vane designed to give sailors immediate and accurate visual feedback of wind direction. Built with top-quality UV-stabilised materials, precision pivot action, and reflective 3M markers — it’s a trusted choice for yachts and racing craft over 8 m (26 ft) in length.

This dependable wind direction indicator improves sail trim, tactical decisions, and overall sailing performance — especially in competitive ocean racing and coastal cruising.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Highly Sensitive Wind Detection — Precision pivot design and low friction movement deliver accurate indication even in light winds (as little as 2 knots).

  • Large 400 mm Vane Arm — Extra-long arm (400 mm) makes wind direction easy to spot at a distance from the cockpit.

  • Reflective Safety Markers — Fitted with genuine 3M reflective orange and white markers on both the vane and reference arms for night-time visibility.

  • Lightweight & Corrosion-Resistant — Weighing only ~64 g, it won’t add unnecessary weight aloft, and UV-stable materials resist harsh marine conditions.

  • Anodised Aluminium Masthead Mounting — Included hardware simplifies installation on the top of mast.

  • NZ-Designed & Manufactured — Proudly engineered and produced in New Zealand, trusted by sailors with decades of proven performance.
