Interesting. Any competitive sailor would have suggested it, of course. They all know the benefit of getting "clean wind".

very informative. TYVM Now we can just hope the bird lovers don't shut down all the wind turbines.

The cute thing was their way of testing it, rotate the wind-direction sensor by the desired rotary displacement.
