Masthead wind speed and direction sensor for sailing vessels and powerboats

Product Options
Wired Masthead Wind Transducer

Overview

The wired masthead wind transducer provides accurate measurement of relative wind speed and direction. 

When combined with other sensors like boat speed and compass, the masthead transducer provides the necessary wind information to calculate true wind speed, true direction and many other advanced data items.

Available in 2 different lengths, the 300mm short-arm version is the perfect choice for cruising sailboats or power boats.  High performance sailing boats may prefer the 600mm long-arm version which moves the transducer farther away from the updraft of the boat's sails for enhanced accuracy.

  • Durable anodized aluminum and UV-stabilized plastic construction
  • Masthead mounting block and interconnect cable included
  • Compatible with i60 Wind, iTC-5, ST60+ and ST60 series instruments
  • Replaceable feather/pointer and speed cups (part number A28167)
