Wind Vane

[joe]

Does anyone have a windvane on their Ariel?  If so what brand and how do you like it?  I'll need one for my Ariel within the next five or six months.

Good thread!

I had a Navik on a Cape Dory 25(nearly same as an Ariel as far as transom goes).  It worked well, even downwind.  Had a couple of problems that I thought needed redone (purtaining to weaknesses, and one about adjustment), but on the whole was a very good match for the boat.  Also easily mounted without looking like you had strapped on a junkyard to your stern.
