SAILING GLOSSARY
Anemometer
An anemometer is an instrument that measures wind speed. On a sailboat, it is generally installed at the top of the mast and allows you to know the apparent wind speed. Some models also indicate its direction. Very useful for knowing whether the wind is 15 knots or whether we are starting to quietly wonder why we are still out there.
