Vane modification for D400 wind turbine 
The Eclectic Energy D400 wind turbine comes in standard form with a rather small directional vane. While this is fine for a terrestrial application, it is useful to extend this vane in a marine situation.

The vane shown above is 260 mm high and 260 mm wide, The leading angle is 30 and the trailing angle is 15. The bottom 30 mm of the vane is angled at 15 degrees to accommodate the twist in the original vane. The material is 1.5 mm aluminium sheet.
