Looking way up there on top of the masthead at a windex usually gives me a fantastic headache. A better (or at least more comfortable) way to see which way the wind is blowing is to attach a streamer to the upper shrouds as high up as you can reach. 8 F

<font face='Comic Sans MS'><font size=2> For light air sailing try ¼” cassette tape. Just tie it to the upper shroud as high as possible. It will flow in any air at all even when you can’t feel it. </font id=size2></font id='Comic Sans MS'>

A small length of the wifes knitting yarn works great and you can use red or whatever color you want.

We've used everything from string to yarn to cigarette smoke. The Thing that seems to work best for us is VCR tape, it is a little more durable than the audio tape. On the Racing boat when someone isn't trimming to the wind we always tell them to watch
