Wind speeds are very easily underestimated, which in the worst case can lead to difficulties. Electronic wind measuring instruments are not always accurate if, for example, transducers in the masthead are damaged or the devices are not adjusted or calibrated. However, accurate wind measurement is particularly important on sailing yachts in order to be able to assess the load on the sails and reef in good time. A reliable anemometer should therefore always be on board.

Compact handheld anemometers offer high precision, the devices are robust and some anemometers are even waterproof and floatable. The wind force is measured using stable cup rotors or impellers. The reading is usually shown digitally on a display. The desired unit of wind force can be programmed in km/h, m/s, knots, mph, fps or Beaufort. In addition to the current wind speed display, the anemometers for boats offer many other measuring functions and displays, for example the storage of minimum and maximum values as well as average wind speeds.

Temperature displays can also be used to assess weather developments. The handiness of a mobile anemometer is important, as it must be held securely and firmly with one hand. Battery-operated anemometers have another advantage: the display is easy to read even in the dark thanks to the automatic illumination. When buying an anemometer, make sure it is solidly constructed from high-quality plastic. An anemometer should be able to withstand shocks and vibrations. Replacements for damaged rotors should be available if they are not installed with special protection. The Compass24 online shop offers mobile anemometers in various designs from international brand manufacturers.
