Orphan date February 2009 A Wind Transducer is a device used by sailors to receive a real time measurement of wind speed and direction. A wind transducer is usually mounted on the masthead of a sailboat and is occasionally used by power boats too. The wind speed and direction measurements are more critical to sail boats than to power boats. Sailors rely on the wind speed and direction to help with navigation and pilotage . These devices can be calibrated to measure the true wind speed and the apparent wind speed speed that a sailor would feel . Sail boats can sail at max 45 degrees close to the wind and will sail faster on a reach than when at closest to the wind. Wind Transducers are usually wired to the cock or head though wireless versions are becoming steadily more popular due to the reduced installation time required.
