Birds Can’t Rest on Wind Indicator with BirdSpike

Windex Spike

Birds perching on top of a mast will quickly make a mess of the deck and sail cover. To avoid this, install a Windex 15 with BirdSpike from Windex Development AB. Designed for 15′-40′ boats, the masthead wind indicator not only makes sailing easier, but prevents gulls and terns from landing on the device.

Birds perching on top of a mast will quickly make a mess of the deck and sail cover. To avoid this, install a Windex 15 with BirdSpike from Windex Development AB. Designed for 15′-40′ boats, the masthead wind indicator not only makes sailing easier, but prevents gulls and terns from landing on the device.

The 7.5″ BirdSpike sits above the vane, so it doesn’t interfere with the Windex 15’s sensitivity. An assembly, installation and instructional video is at www.bit.ly/Windex15. The Windex Development Windex 15 with BirdSpike costs US$65. For current Windex 15 owners, the 7.5″ BirdSpike is available for US$16.

Yet I couldn’t walk across a room without being hailed by a Canadian who was as excited to see my cap as they were to see the racing. I met many who were on their 3rd, 4th and 5th visit.
