Seems like every April at the big swap meet in Seattle someone shows up with a used Aries or Monitor. Other brands, too, like the old (but good shape) Sailomat I saw a couple years ago.
So try to attend your local swap meets and have some cash and be ready to negotiate a deal!
I have a used aries wind vane that came with the boat I bought. I don't know a lot about them, but was told by person I bought my boat from that it is complete, just needs to be rebuilt. I was going to list it, but if you are interested, lets see if we can make a deal.
I had a Windpilot vane on my Newport WINDPILOT: selfsteering under sail It was the most used accessory on the boat. Simple, quite, strong and reliable. You had to get the boat pointed and the sails set right for it to work well. I sailed from SF to Mobile, AL with it, short handed and it never let us down. I chose it because it was the best looking one out there, just so happened it worked perfectly.
As with women good looks are not a reliable indicator of performance. But if you are patient and skillful you can get them to do what you want most of the time.
