Weather Whisker
 A personal sailing device used by male sailors 

Male sailors have an advantage when sailing, since they can use the weather whisker to determine wind strength and direction. A weeks worth of facial growth is useful; any less and direction can be hard to establish, any more can lead to insulation producing a negative response.

It is recommended that a sailor take a few days to generate a minimum growth level before casting off, trimming will assist in maintaining an effective level during a long voyage.

The effectiveness of a weather whisker can be compromised by the presence of a spray hood or sun shade - always take care.
