9/14/2023 0 Comments Vaavud sleipnir review![]() ![]() ![]() after Monday morning’s classes, my boys immediately wanted to head over to the archery range. on the weekdays during the Family Weeks at Camp Arcadia, each morning has a short Bible study for the adults, and classes for the children – split up into manageable age groups for the Camp staff – basically like a vacation Bible school, with some sports and games mixed in as well for the kids classes. Here is a summary of the second main day from our week vacation up at Camp Arcadia. but as an extra bonus this week, both of the Vaavud wind meters are on sale for 35% off… so maybe it’s a perfect time to get a Christmas gift for that sailor in your life! I’m not getting anything for posting this, nothing free, no extra discount – just thought I’d share a neat product with other sailors. the red model (with 2 cups) is the older model, the Sleipnir is the grey/black model, updated to measure wind direction as well as wind speed. I posted about the Vaavud previously, but here is another promotional video for the latest Vaavud model, the Sleipnir, that now measures both wind speed and direction. I currently have an app on my iPhone called Wind Meter – which is pretty neat, but I’m always skeptical that my case might interfere with the results, or just that the speaker/microphone on the iPhone is partially blocked by dust, etc.Īnd there are certainly dedicated wind meters, often used by sailing race committees – but that’s another piece of equipment to deal with. I’m not well versed enough in the Beaufort wind scale to estimate wind speeds accurately myself, so gadgets that do it for me are always appealing. there are often times when I’m standing on the beach, thinking about – or getting ready to go out sailing my Sunfish, and I’ve wondered what the wind speed currently is. The Vaavud App can be found in the Google Play Store or Apple Store.This is a post about a neat gizmo for measuring wind speed using a smart phone. The unit works on all phones that have iOS 7.0 and above installed, and that are Android 4.0 and above compatible Measurements can be immediately forwarded or shared, and are automatically downloaded to a card that is available to all users Accurate measurement of the wind direction with deviations of 10 degrees in 30 seconds Accurate wind measurement of wind speeds from 1 to 40 m / s meters per second (with deviations of 4%), Small and handy packaging, comes with a stylish neoprene sleeve that also has room for most Cellphones Operation: In order to carry out measurements, you must first download the free Vaavud Wind Meter App from the App Store and then simply plug the anemometer into the headphone jack of your smartphone.
