WINDEX vane positions at different apparent wind directions Beam reaching You may well be a skilled helmsman without WINDEX, but – WINDEX will give you that extra edge so important for victory. The diagram shows the narrow optimum of the speed made good (VMG) as funcion of the apparent wind angle. The data should be representative of a typical ocean racer. Apparent wind angle The light-reflecting material on the vane and the two reference tabs makes it easy to read WINDEX in darkness by means of WINDEX LED Light (or small flaschlight).

WINDEX UNIQUE VISUAL DISPLAY OF THE APPARENT WIND ANGLE This principle is based on the special sensitivity of the human eye to the asymmetry of an optical picture This principle is based on the special sensitivity of the human eye to the asymmetry of an optical picture. Within the range 0° to 15° the WINDEX type of display indicates a change in the apparent wind angle as small as 1°.
