Hi
I hope this is considered as on topic
I want a weather vane/cock that has a nice pointer to show wind direction as
usual. Trouble is I want one with anometer cups spinning lower down on the
mast. They don't have to do anything more than spin, although I expect there
to be some sort of a bearing. I don't want it to squeak or seize in 3 weeks.
Besides liking the aesthetics of these I am convinced the vibrations keep
the moles down.
I have seen these in gardens but do not know where to buy one of reasonable
quality from. WWW search has not worked which I have done periodically and
searched shops and garden centres for a year.
Help appreciated.

Could well be part of an electronic/automatic weather station. As you
don't want all the rest of an AWS you might be able get the anemometer
part as a spare.

WWW search has not worked ...

How have you been spelling anemometer? B-)

Maybe, hadn't thought of that one and I live near the coast.
Thanks

There are quite a few and what you really want would be the Wind Power
Generators that fix on the Transom.

Good Luck
