Which WINDEX model fits my sailboat?

• WINDEX 15 MK2 with Bird Spike for Seagull Protection and Carbon pole – this further development of the popular Windex 15 is the improved version of the wind indicator. The new model features a carbon rod for weight reduction, comes in an all-black design, and is supplied with the new Unifix mount, which allows both horizontal and vertical installation.
  The included Birdspike is mounted on the Windex as bird protection, reliably preventing seagulls and other birds from perching on your Windex.
  WINDEX 15 MK2, the top seller for sailing yachts from 25ft to 40ft – the perfect equipment for all cruising and racing yachts up to approximately 12m in length. Mounted in a sturdy bracket at the mast top, it is large enough (38cm wind vane length) to be clearly visible from below, even on a tall mast. Thanks to the reflector strip on the wind vane and the tabs, the Windex® 15 is optimally readable both day and night. The Windex® wind vanes are durable and can be used for many years if installed correctly.
  Windex 15 MK2 is compatible with the traditional Windex 15 mount.
