Hi,

As a new owner of a Laser Stratos (250), I was wondering about a wind indicator/ burgee.

On previous dinghes I have had I have used a Hawk which I really like as it gives good and easy true wind direction. I was wondering about fixing the Hawk to the mast and whether the mast can be drilled.

Any help would be welcome

thanks

Mark

Hello, Mark,

I noticed on Hawk's web page http://www.hawkmouldings.co.uk/www/wind.htm they say the littleHawk MkII installs without tools. This doesn't seem to have the 45° indicators, though.

Did you get a keel or centreboard Stratos in the end?

The 10" one at £15.70 is the one to go for. I'm on my third. (Inversions!!!!)
