Veleta Windex 10 — Precision Wind Direction Indicator for Sailboats

The Veleta Windex 10 is a compact, high‑sensitivity wind vane that gives sailors instant, reliable wind direction at a glance. Built around an ultra‑low‑friction jeweled bearing and a perfectly balanced 250 mm vane, it delivers crisp, stable readings from light airs to strong breezes. Its UV‑stabilised materials, stainless‑steel support and adjustable tacking reference tabs make it a trusted choice for dinghies and keelboats up to 10 m. Easy to install at the masthead and effortless to read day or night thanks to reflective markers, the Veleta Windex 10 helps you trim faster, point higher and sail with confidence.
