Built for long-term reliability in salt, sun, and spray, it offers plug‑and‑play compatibility with the WIND S400, precise measurement in SI units (m/s, km/h, °), and a rugged marine-grade construction that stands up to demanding conditions—so you can focus on performance rather than maintenance. Choose the trusted replacement or upgrade that keeps your system accurate, responsive, and ready for every passage.
Key Benefits and Applications
- Seamless integration with your WIND S400 — Designed to connect directly to the AdvanSea WIND S400, ensuring fast setup, consistent data, and no guesswork at the masthead.
- Sharper sailing decisions, day and night — Real‑time wind speed in m/s and direction in degrees helps you optimise sail trim, improve VMG, and react early to shifts for both cruising and racing.
- Built to endure harsh marine environments — UV‑stabilised, corrosion‑resistant materials and sealed components resist saltwater, sun exposure, and heavy weather for season‑after‑season reliability.
- Smooth, stable data for better autopilot and routing — Clean, low‑noise wind signals give your instruments the precision they need for course keeping, performance analysis, and weather routing.
- Low maintenance by design — Robust bearings and balanced aerodynamics reduce wear and vibration, minimising service intervals and keeping your rig unobstructed.
- Ideal for refits and replacements — A perfect match for restoring original WIND S400 functionality on older installations without re‑engineering your instrument network.
Featured technical specifications
- Measurement functions — Captures apparent wind speed in metres per second and kilometres per hour, and wind angle in degrees for clear, standardised readouts.
- Masthead sensing architecture — Utilises a lightweight cup anemometer and balanced wind vane for fast start‑up in light airs and stable readings in gusts.
- Optimised aerodynamics — Low‑inertia rotor and finely tuned vane geometry reduce turbulence effects for consistent response across a wide wind range.
- Power and signalling — Designed to be powered by and communicate with the AdvanSea WIND S400 display for straightforward, reliable operation.
- Marine‑grade construction — UV‑resistant polymers and stainless hardware provide long‑lasting performance against corrosion and degradation.
- Environmental protection — Weather‑sealed body and bearings help keep out spray and rain, supporting accurate measurement in challenging conditions.
- Installation and mounting — Purpose‑built for masthead placement with clear vane alignment to the vessel’s bow for quick calibration and dependable accuracy.
- Calibration support — Angle offset and fine adjustments can be performed from the WIND S400 interface to match your rig and sailing style.
- Weight and balance — Compact, low‑mass assembly minimises masthead load and reduces pitching effects to preserve reading stability underway.
- Maintenance guidance — Simple periodic rinse with fresh water recommended; visual inspection of cups and vane keeps the sensor at peak performance.
