Will Telo Cat Wind Vane Work w/Roller Furler?

I "think" I've heard that the telo cat wind vane will work with a roller furler but can any verify it?

I believe I've used one before... but I think you need the "Hobe 18 bracket" here: http://www.murrays.com/archive/19.pdf

Yep, it'll work as long as you're using the Hobie brand roller furler. You'll need the bracket mentioned above - Murrays P/N 08-1451, Hobie P/N CM7705.

That bracket won't work with the telocat vane. Its made for the little red flag vane in the photo. And don't fold or crease the flag. Its plastic or mylar or something and once crinkled it will stay that way.

It should work fine. I believe there's a hole in the middle of the black plastic bracket that comes with the Telocat that allows you to screw the Telocat bracket to the furler adapter. It's somewhat convoluted, but it works. I've been using the Telocat for decades on a H18 with furler by using those parts.



Those cheap red flags are basically useless in any wind over about 15mph- they will just flutter. Go with the Telocat. They're a little more expensive, but they're more sensitive, more durable, and all in all a much better wind indicator.

Hey great, thank you all. I JUST missed out on a used roller furler on eBay, but will add it in the future for sure anyway.

I sure like my telo but needed to know if it will work with a roller.

Thanks again!
