Setting the Perfect Line
Why a 360° sensor is the best wind meter for finding the Mean Wind Direction (MWD).

Mean Wind Direction
1
The Bouncing RIB Problem
Setting a square line in a 2-meter swell is nearly impossible with a directional handheld meter. Every time the boat rolls, your data shifts. To set a fair course, you need a device that stays accurate regardless of boat movement.

The "Mean Wind" Advantage
The best wind meter for race management isn't just about max speed - it's about the average. A 360° ultrasonic sensor filters out the noise of the waves, allowing you to find the true center of an oscillation.
"A square line reduces General Recalls and ensures a fair start for the entire fleet."
Pro Tip: Stop "pointing" at the wind. Use a 360° fixed sensor on the Signal Boat to track trends while you focus on the flags.
