[C320-list] Mast wiring question

[Brian/Carol McLamb]

Hi Doug.  I am the proud owner of Serenity #1075.  You my want to consider
the TackTic wireless unit.  It has been great for me over the years.
Someone at a local boat yard with a crane, or maybe even on a bosun chair
can mount the masthead unit, and then you place the receiving unit at/near
the helm so you can see both wind direction and intensity.  This does not
require any wiring so it can be done with the mast in place.  No matter
which way you go I know you will enjoy having the wind direction and speed
visible at the helm.
