-     Reduces production cost for its Vindicator(®) Laser Wind Sensor -
-     Preliminary trial data results should trigger customer follow-on orders
 - 


MANASSAS, VA, Feb. 28 /CNW/ - Catch the Wind Ltd. (TSXV: CTW) reported
 that consistent with its recently announced initiative to optimize the
 use of capital, the company has reduced the production costs of its
 Vindicator(®) laser wind sensor (LWS) by approximately 50%. The cost reduction
 results from a new production configuration achieved as a result of the
 knowledge gained from customer field trials conducted over the past 18
 months as well as the transfer back to the Vindicator® LWS of the
 miniaturization developed previously for Company's hand-held wind
 sensing device, Racer's Edge(® )LWS.  The new product configuration also significantly improves the ease
 of installation and serviceability of the Vindicator® LWS units.


"We continue to execute on our strategy and are making steady progress
 against each of our milestones," said Phil Rogers, President and CEO of
 Catch the Wind. "This recent momentum is particularly encouraging as we
 prepare for our upcoming participation at the European Wind Energy
 Association (EWEA) Annual Event, where we will present data results
 from recent field trials and customer evaluation programs."


Mr. Rogers added, "Based on a review of the preliminary data results
 from customer trials, which are consistent across various turbine makes
 and models as well as different wind sites, we believe the benefits
 delivered by the Vindicator will meet or exceed the trigger points for
 follow-on orders from customers given the provisions of our existing
 customer agreements." 


As previously announced, Catch the Wind will present data that
 consistently and uniformly demonstrated the ability of the Vindicator(®) LWS to generate increased energy output at the upcoming EWEA 2011
 Annual Event, Europe's premier wind energy conference. EWEA will be
 held in Brussels, Belgium from March 14 to 17. The conference is
 expected to attract more than 10,000 wind energy professionals. Details
 on the event can be found at http://www.ewec2011.info.


Catch the Wind has also been invited to present their technology at
 CleanEquity Monaco 2011 on March 3 and 4.  An invitation only event
 hosted by Innovator Capital, a London specialist investment bank and
 the Monaco Chamber of Economic Development, CleanEquity Monaco is a
 forum for emerging clean-tech companies to present to financial
 investors, policy makers, legislators and end users. In 2009, Catch the
 Wind was a runner up for the award for Excellence in the Field of
