Wind Indicator

I would like to buy a wind indicator that I could mount on a railing of my Bennington 20 SLL. I could use a Davis wind vane, but I would have to drill holes in the rail to screw-in the base. I would much rather have some type of friction clamp, so that I could try the device in different location to decide where I ultimately want to locate it. Any ideas?

Why not just a handheld Anemometer?

Lick your finger and stick it in the air. Then you get wind speed, direction, and temp at the same time and no screws

He was being a smartass
Did something get deleted that I missed? Is this a case of projection?

I was licking my finger and sticking it in the air. Then, some guy in a bass boat fired three shots at me! So, I'm looking for another method.

Well some of us (me, myself and I) are a little slow on the uptake!
You got me.

I guess I am just curious why you want one?? Or feel you need one?
Not trying to be a smart ass but its pretty easy to tell which way the wind is coming from, and estimate the speed.
If its windy enough to create a chop I just don't go that day.
