Plastimo Navik Windvane installation

Post by aemilia3 »

Hello fellow Ballad sailors,

I am about to install a Plastimo Navik Windvane on the transom of Aemilia. I know there are quite a few Ballad's out there who have done the same before. However when I read the installation instructions in the manual (see http://www.bluemoment.com/manuals/navik.pdf ) it says the mounting bracket should be somewhere between 800 - 900 mm above the waterline. However, when I measured onboard Aemilia at the transom, the highest point of her transom is less than 800 mm above the waterline. So I am curious to here or see how other Ballad owners have solved this. Should I take these measures very strict or are there other solutions? Your feedback is much appreciated!

Many thanks,
