We like to say: Electronics for show
and Knotstick to know! If you need an instrument to help learn sail
trim then read on because Knotstick is better than almost anything
else for learning to trim properly. GPS is too slow for seeing small changes
in boat speed. Knotstick can make you into a great helmsman.
You can learn how to steer your boat through waves and maintain maximum speed.
Even some expensive thru-hull electronic meters are damped to the point that
they can't show the helmsman anything meaningful.
Knotstick works by measuring
the force generated by towing a small calibrated disk. The force is generally
5 to 7 ounces with a maximum of 12 ounces. Knotstick comes with three
interchangeable scales: 0-3, 0-6 0-9 knots. You get an absolutely steady reading
in all sea conditions. This is achieved through the use of a special dacron-neoprene
tow line.
Knotstick is built entirely
in the USA. Each spring is individually sized and checked to assure a permanent
accuracy to within 0.2 knots. The resolution is 0.12 knots at any speed above
2 knots. All parts are uv resistant plastic , stainless steel or brass. There
are protective black rubber bump guards on both ends. We now have a new hard
plastic case that makes stowing the tow line a snap. Just wrap the line around
one end of the case and you have a nice neat package ready for next time. Boat
yards use Knotstick to calibrate electronic knotmeters.
