AWI MANUFACTURERS

John: I'm assuming you are asking about Apparent Wind Indicators (AWI's). If so, there are any number out there and most can be found in the Boat U.S., West Marine, and Defender catalogs or on their web sites. I had a Standard Horizon AWI on my last boat (Hunter 31), but I understand they have gotten out of that business recently. Our new Catalina 400 has a ST-60 (Raytheon) system. Expect to spend anywhere between $650-850 for a complete system plus any instillation help you get. Good luck.Tim Leighton(S/V "MAGIC")

heck out Blue Water Sailing magazine

They just did an article on servo wind vane models. They will be doing a few more in the future on some of the other types of wind vanes. They did a pretty good write-up of the major manufacturers with their pluses and minuses.Les Murrays/v Ceilidh86 C-36 #560
