With masthead wind sensors and mounted displays running $1,000 plus and requiring difficult (or expensive) installation, the hand held instrument category is becoming slightly more interesting. Some of these instruments include comprehensive weather data, making their sailing usage even more compelling.
Sans obvious drawbacks regarding visibility and lack of wind direction indication, if you have this type of instrument, please comment on:
1. Mounting, if you have been able to do so, how, where and is it readily removable.
2. Best manufacturer for functionality and durability (Davis, Kestrel, etc.)
3. Power connection, if any.
4. Any other usefulinformation.
Thanks,
