Wind Measuring Systems

An all in one core data components kit, that includes all you need for your boat network. This pack includes a WS320 wireless wind pack for highly accurate wind information, which is easy to install. The IDST810 depth, speed and temperature sensor and a GPS ZG100 Module pack for all your positioning data, including heading, heel and trim. This pack also includes the Micro-C backbone kit, 2m and 5m N2K cables for all your wiring and installation requirements.

WS320 wireless wind sensor 

The perfect solution for any sailor looking to get accurate and fast wind data to their instruments, which is easy to install without a cable through the mast. Designed to provide highly accurate wind data in all conditions at all points of sail and heel. WS320 has been benchmarked against multiple different sensors in over 500 individual wind tunnel tests. Easy to install and light-weight, ideal for smaller boats – without compromising performance for wireless convenience. WS320 has the same accuracy (both wind angle and wind speed) as the wired version, while outputting wind at a super smooth 5 times every second. As the most exposed sensor on a yacht, the wind sensor – critical for instruments and autopilot steering – must meet an exceptionally high standard. In addition to B&G’s extreme testing programme, the WS320 sensors have been subject to combined field tests of over 200,000 hours.

DST810 MultiSensor

A compact multisensor that offers depth, speed and temperature data from a single through-hull sensor that can be easily installed and connected directly to the network. Patented, speed-signal-processing enhancements provide excellent paddlewheel accuracy below 5 knots (6 MPH) and smooth linear output at all vessel speeds. The transducer’s wide, fan-shaped, port-starboard beam is able to find bottom even when installed on steep deadrise hulls or heeling sailboats. You also get true water-temperature readings with the DST810’s reliable temperature sensor.

B&G ZG100 GPS

The B&G ZG100 GPS antenna provides precise and dependable position data making it the perfect partner for B&G chartplotters and instrument systems. The highly accurate 10 Hz GPS gives precise and smooth update of position information during acceleration and manoeuvring, rapid signal acquisition and consistent position accuracy augmented by secondary satellite systems like WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS and Galileo. It is also QZSS-ready. The integrated compass delivers accurate heading information for instruments, chart stabilisation for Head Up mode and Radar overlays. It also provides Heel and Trim data for sailing.

The GMI 20 digital instrument display is perfectly designed for both powerboats and sailboats

The easy-to-read GNX 20 displays black numbers on a white or colored background, clearly displaying depth, speed, wind and over 50 other marine and boating data. Its glass-mounted display with anti-reflective coating offers superior readability in both light and dark conditions with 36 mm high, high-contrast numbers.

The GNX 20 is the first marine instrument to feature a glass-mounted display and a combination of LCD segment and digital numeric display for information presentation. Its low power consumption – (25 mA) 350 mW (without backlight)/400 mW (medium backlight) – is perfect for sailboats, and is also a valuable device for powerboats and fishing boats. Fully adjustable user profiles display wind, depth and speed information. In addition, an auto-scroll function switches between display options for hands-free operation. The instrument can be flush-mounted with the included mounting kit or surface-mounted (optional), creating a finished glass cockpit on your boat.

GNX Wind provides the wind information you need to make informed decisions. The GNX Wind features a highly visible, glass-edge, backlit, black-and-white LCD display with customizable background colors. It operates over a NMEA 2000® network and displays two data fields simultaneously, along with a digital wind rose that shows both true and apparent wind data, directions, boat speed and more. Low power consumption of 350 mW during the day (no backlight) and 400 mW at night (medium backlight) makes it ideal for sailboats. Customizable user settings let you customize the look and feel of the display. Display configurations include over 15 important parameters, including wind, speed and navigation.

It can connect wirelessly to the gWind Wireless sensor.
