Accurate wind measurements can make a difference

Yes, and if your not really sure exactly what windshear is even, then don't worry. You're not alone. Silva have a good document helping to explain, what it is and how using instruments from Silva Nexus NX2 range that can take it into account can improve performance.

If you think Silva only manufacturer those clear hand held compasses you last used in anger to try to get your Scouting Compass badge, you'd be wrong. Silva is part of Fiskars Brands that including Lowrance, Gerber and Nexus Marine all come under the Fiskars brand umbrella making a lot more products that hand held compasses.

Nexus Marine's NX2 range of instruments include autopilots, mast mounted instruments and Volvo Ocean Range branded held hand wind and meteorological devices. Silva's engineers have put together a small document that helps to describe windshear and why it can be important for anyone wanting to gain an advantage over the opposition in race conditions
