Sailors and lake people buy the 24 inch Sailboat Accent weathervane for the same reason they hang a chart on the wall. It’s a sailboat in black silhouette set over an arrow with the directional markers for north, south, east and west. The accent size fits a boathouse, a garage or a shed, which is where most of them end up.

Why aluminum near the water

The 24 inch Sailboat Accent weathervane is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum. Aluminum will not rust, which is exactly what you want anywhere near salt water or a lake that freezes. The all-weather protective coating goes over the casting, and the whole thing carries a five-year warranty.

The 24 inch Sailboat Accent weathervane comes in Black

Black is the single finish, and on a sailboat it does the job. The hull and the sail read as one dark shape against the sky, so you can pick out the boat from the dock or the driveway. A boat that’s heading into the wind is the point of the piece, after all.

Accent size, and when to go bigger

If you’re topping a boathouse, a small garage or a garden structure, this size is proportional. For a larger roof or a house set back from the road, the 30 inch Sailboat Accent weathervane and the 30 inch Sailboat weathervane read better at a distance. The 30 inch Sailboat also comes in a Multi-Color finish if you want more than a silhouette.

Nothing on the 24 inch Sailboat Accent weathervane is personalized, so there’s no proofing step. The other nautical figures, including the Clipper and the Schooner, are on our weathervanes page. If you’d like a matching piece for the dock, the cast bells take the same finish.
