Bob, Rum Runner has the Windex mounted on top of the VHF antenna. At night I turn on the mast head light and I can see the reflective bottom points on it to tell wind direction. GPS's sure are cool though. Many features I doubt that I will ever use, but still nice to have. Had a great sail this morning with winds in the 12 to 15 range. Had the genny furled to about 110 and lowered the pop top and boom. Sailed tandem for a while with a Santana, but not sure of it's length. He sure was fighting hard against the wind. Not much effort on my part. RummySee the original archive post
