The Vaavud wind meter, with its electronicless design and free app, tickled our fancy as a neat new device for the modern-day sailor and angler.
There are no electronic parts in the Vaavud wind meter and it's made of durable high-performing plastics. Its manufacturer says the neat device is resistant to water, sand, dirt, and whatever else you might come across.
The Vaavud wind meter has a wind range from four knots up to nearly 50 knots and has been put through its paces and calibrated in a professional wind tunnel at the Technical University of Denmark.
The quite remarkable device costs about $70 and is available on line at: www.vaavud.com.
