What is Bird Aweigh?

Multi-Functional
Bird Aweigh protects the anemometer arm and all instruments against damage from birds + helps keep the deck and canvas clear of droppings.
Birds tend to fly into the wind when landing, which is why we designed our product with bright deterrent flags that fly away from the wind, thus preventing the bird from landing.

Easy Installation
Bird Aweigh comes fully assembled and ready to use. It easily attaches to a halyard to be raised to the top of the mast.
Once raised, use the control lines to deploy the stainless-steel rods and the UV resistant flags.
Flags can be easily adjusted above your electronics using the control lines.
When taking down, first retract flags by pulling on the black control line.

What Sailors Are Saying
“This is a great device. I have had Bird Aweigh for about a year, and I have not had one Osprey on my masthead. All the sailors I have asked don't have any idea how to stop the destruction of their wind instruments and unsightly canvas spots! Thank you.”
— Jack & Gail, S/V Relentless
“After 30 years of sailing and various boat-mast heights I am finally at peace with my bird love-hate relationship. The well-constructed and easily-deployed Bird Aweigh changed an almost daily deck cleaning operation. On a scale of 1 to 10 this is a definite ten and is enthusiastically recommended without reservation.”
— Herb, S/V Adagio
“Bird Aweigh made a night and day difference with bird poop on my sailboat. Without Bird Aweigh I get hundreds of droplets in just a few days. Now I get almost none. It’s easy to hoist, easy to take down, and easy to store. An ingenious design. I fully recommend.”
— Roger, S/V Bella
