Key Benefits and Applications

• Fast, glanceable readability — Oversized digits and a clear wind rose deliver immediate awareness of shifts and gusts, reducing reaction time when helming or trimming.
• Smarter sailing decisions — Apparent and true wind modes, trend indication and VMG help optimise sail plan, angles and laylines in cruising and racing scenarios.
• Confident performance in all light — Transflective LCD with adjustable amber backlight stays readable in full sun and at night, with anti‑fog treatment for humid conditions.
• Easy retrofit and network flexibility — Works as a display‑only unit for replacement or expansion, with NMEA 0183 input/output and proprietary bus for simple system growth.
• Built tough for the marine environment — Front‑face waterproofing and robust construction withstand spray, UV and vibration for dependable seasons of service.
• Customizable to your preferences — Multiple unit options including SI units (m/s and km/h), user‑set damping and multi‑level backlight tailor the readout to your boat and crew.
• Ideal for helms, pods and repeaters — Compact square footprint suits flush helm installs, companionway pods or secondary displays for crew visibility on deck.
