Now here's a thought; Borrow a pair of the First Mate's pantyhose, and fill one leg with loosely crunched-up alfoil from the galley. Tie to the spare halyard at waist and toe, so that the halyard become a continuous loop. Hoist to the masthead. The other leg will tell you where the wind is going to. The skipper's dream; a multi-function fitting that costs pennies!
Peter.
