WeatherFile OWS-5 was developed in partnership with the English Institute of Sport and the British Olympic team to provide an accurate measurement of wind speed and direction relative to the ground from a moving platform (sailing coach boat (RIB)). Other applications include rowing coach boats, regatta committee boats, cycle race chase cars, wind turbine transfer vessels, ferries etc. The great advantage of OWS-5 is it requires no calibration when in use.
