Posts: 3,969 | I've gotten better at guessing, and can impress "some of the people some of the time." But I've worked with folks who don't have a meter, and are within a half-knot with their guess, over and over again. Freaky...
Windtronic is way cooler than the Kestrel and similar, for the reason you mentioned Matt, but even the Windtronic isn't string-proof. I tend to multi-task when I'm reading the wind, and often find myself with the string and meter in one hand, and the compass in the other. That works just fine until someone distracts me, then the string starts to wander... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Posts: 12,310 South Carolina | While at Charleston for a small family gathering this past fall, it was pretty darn windy all weekend. On Sunday, my dad and brother estimated that the wind was blowing 25 to 30. I said, nah, it's about 17 sustained with gusts to about 22-23. A bet was placed and one noaa buoy report later, I was drinking my fresh beer on the back porch. The report said 17 sustained with gusts to 22.5.

Posts: 1,884 Detroit, MI | What string? Mine doesn't have one. Is it because it is a Windtronic 2? Kind of - Mike was using a tell-tale (a piece of Angora wool on a stick), when the tail of the string got wound around the impeller of the meter. Scratch one wind meter. Mike - put the stick in your pocket next time.
