Imagine upgrading your boat's wind sensing capabilities without dropping the mast or wrestling with lengthy cables. The Raymarine Wireless Wind Transmitter changes the game for sailors who value efficiency. Securing it requires just three screws directly onto your existing masthead plate, allowing installation while the mast stays upright. This approach saves hours of labor and eliminates the risk of damaging rigging during unstepping.
Positioned at the masthead for optimal airflow, it captures precise wind data high above deck clutter, delivering reliable readings even in choppy seas or during tacks and gybes. Boaters transitioning from older wired systems appreciate how this transmitter frees up space inside the mast and reduces points of failure from corrosion-prone wiring.
Powered by Raymarine's proven Micronet wireless network, the transmitter beams wind speed and apparent wind angle data to compatible displays across your vessel. No more signal dropouts from mast rotations or cable wear—enjoy a clean, interference-free link that performs in rain, fog, or high winds.
This system shines in dynamic sailing environments. Regatta racers rely on its quick-response updates for tactical decisions, while cruisers benefit from consistent data for safe passage planning. The low-power design ensures long battery life, minimizing downtime during extended voyages.
Equipped with a responsive three-cup anemometer and a lightweight wind vane, this transmitter delivers wind speed accuracy within ±2% and direction within ±3 degrees under typical conditions. Its low-friction bearings keep the vane tracking true, even at low speeds below 1 knot—crucial for light-air maneuvering.
Optical sensing technology avoids brushes and contacts that degrade over time, ensuring years of dependable service. Sailors report noticeably smoother data curves compared to mechanical alternatives, aiding in polar plot analysis and autopilot integration for efficient upwind legs.
Calibration happens right from your cockpit display—no tools or disassembly needed. Align the vane to true wind direction, input speed offsets via intuitive menus, and you're set. This user-centric design empowers skippers to fine-tune for specific boat heel angles or local sea states without specialist help.
Maintenance is straightforward: occasional fresh water rinses remove salt buildup, and UV-resistant materials withstand harsh marine exposure. Most users find it thrives with minimal intervention, outperforming wired units that demand periodic cable inspections.
In an era of simplified yacht electronics, wireless wind sensing stands out for its scalability. Add displays fore, aft, or at the nav station without rewiring. It future-proofs your setup for multifunction displays and apps, supporting tactical apps for wind shifts and laylines.
Veteran sailors upgrading from legacy systems rave about the liberation from mast-climbing chores, making this a smart choice for both weekend warriors and offshore adventurers.
Mount it directly to your masthead plate using three screws—no need to unstep the mast. Ensure it's positioned clear of obstructions for accurate wind capture. The process typically takes under 30 minutes.
It integrates wirelessly with any Micronet-compatible display, such as the Tactic series. Data flows to multifunction displays and instruments across the network for comprehensive wind info.
Expect reliable transmission up to 1 km line-of-sight, ample for most yachts. Actual range varies with obstructions, but it excels on monohulls and multis alike.
Yes, calibration is done via your display's menu. Set vane alignment and speed factor while sailing in steady conditions—simple and tool-free.
Absolutely versatile. Racers love its responsiveness for tactics, while cruisers value the cable-free reliability for long passages.
Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure. Inspect cups and vane annually for wear. Its sealed design minimizes issues in harsh conditions.
It provides apparent wind speed and direction at the masthead. Pair with boat speed data on displays for true wind calculations.
Wireless Wind Transmitter
For the first time, you can have wind information without running cables down the mast. The Wind Transmitter measures Wind Speed and Direction and sends data to any Micronet display via a wireless link. It can be fitted (simple three-screw attachment) with the mast in place and makes un-stepping the mast easy too. Calibration for wind speed and direction is done at any display.
