This sailboat copper weathervane features excellent intricate detailing and is the ultimate way to add a stunning feature to the roof of the home, exterior structure or a centre piece for the garden. The detail and accents have great definition where the hull, keel, mast, sails and rigging is all clearly defined
Sailboats or sailing boats are a type of boat that are typically propelled by the wind fully or partly by sails. Sail boats tend to be smaller than a sailing ship and this weather vane features a detailed looking sail boat design that sailors and those that love boats, ships, the sea and anything nautical will love. The wind vane looks fantastic as it moves in the direction the wind is blowing

The weathervane rod that fits into the bracket is 19.5mm diameter steel tubing that is treated with a durable exterior black powdercoat paint
Standard Bracket
Each weathervane is supplied with a standard 125mm (5 inch) eaves bracket. Other brackets and fixings are available (see Brackets & Fixings tab for more details)
Features
• Easy to assemble and install (including step by step instructions)
• Includes everything you need to construct the weathervane: Steel rod, NSEW directionals, copper globes and weathervane figure
• Exclusive Single Point Contact design allows the weathervane to spin freely in the wind
Construction
• Copper: The weathervane designs are handcrafted from pure copper and brazed. Brazing may be visible on some designs but doesn't tend to lessen the beauty of the lovely copper weathervane design. Globes and spacers are also made from pure copper, copper over time naturally ages to a Verdigris patina. To preserve the polished finish a lacquer spray can be used to delay the onset of the natural patina
• Brass: Cast brass is used for the NSEW cardinal points on the range of copper weathervanes
• Steel: Rods and brackets to mount the copper weathervanes are made from steel. The steel is treated with a durable exterior black powdercoat paint. The finish should be good for a reasonable amount of time out in the elements but in time if the steel rods and brackets weather they can be painted with an exterior metal paint such as Hammerite which restores the finish and will help preserve and extend the life of the fittings. Clear mastic can also be used on any joints for example where the rod is inserted and secured into the bracket to seal and further weatherproof and prolong the life of the steel bracket and rod
