ABSTRACT:
A wind direction indicator for sailing vessels, particularly wind surfers or small yawls uses a weather vane pivoted to one end of an outrigger. The outrigger is to be fitted to the mid-height of the mast in the angle of vision of the yachtsman using a clamping device. In the case of a rotatable mast or a sail surrounding the mast, the outrigger can rotate in such a manner as a function of the sail position that the wind direction indicator is always on the windward side of the sail. Bearing aids for maintaining the best cruising course and a compass mounting support can be provided on the outrigger.
