The Schaefer Great Hawk Wind Indicator is a premium navigation tool specifically designed for cruising and racing yachts ranging from 8m to 20m in length. This high-performance wind indicator is engineered to provide sailors with accurate and instantaneous wind direction readings, ensuring optimal sailing performance and safety. The Great Hawk's 15" vane arm is crafted from super tough nylon, a material renowned for its exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to harsh marine environments. The reference arms, constructed from glass-filled nylon, offer unparalleled rigidity and UV protection, guaranteeing durability and longevity in even the most demanding conditions.



The precision-balanced vane arm and Hawk's "V" Jewel bearing surface work in harmony to deliver instantaneous response to wind shifts and gusts, minimizing inertia and ensuring that sailors receive accurate and timely wind direction feedback. The reference arms can be preset to a variety of angles, including 55, 60, or 65 degrees, allowing sailors to customize their wind direction readings to suit their specific needs.

The wind indicator can be effortlessly removed from its mounting bracket with just one screw, and the mast bracket can be mounted vertically or horizontally to accommodate various mast configurations.



The Great Hawk's compact design ensures minimal visual obstruction, while its lightweight construction (only 70 grams) makes it an ideal choice for yachts of all sizes. With an overall height of 29cm (11.4") and vane arm length of 38cm (15"), this wind indicator is perfectly suited for installation on a variety of masts. Its sleek, aerodynamic design ensures minimal wind resistance, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring reliable performance in the most extreme sailing conditions.
