B&G B&G WS730 Vertical Wind Sensor

The WS730 high-performance wind sensor offers superb aerodynamics
and accuracy. A 1.4m high modulus carbon spar elevates the wind
sensor into clear air, above any sail-plan disturbance at the
masthead.

WS700 Series Wind Sensors

The WS700 series is the ultimate wind sensor for performance
sailing, providing the most accurate wind angle and speed data. The
new one-piece vane design gives superb aerodynamics and stability,
as a result of over 200,000 hours of combined design and wind
tunnel testing.

Higher altitude for clearer readings

The vertical spar minimises the effect of sail-plan disturbance
on wind measurement ensuring the best performance with minimum
calibration. This means reliable True Wind Direction to make
precise race calls when needed and better steer-to-wind performance
in all conditions when on autopilot.

Flexibility

Choose from 4 options of vertical high-modulus carbon spars from
0.8 to 1.8m in standard or ocean specification. 

WS700 series follows the same physical mounting as previous
models (VHMU) providing an easy upgrade path.

Wide compatibility

Connect directly to H5000 or WTP3 via a NMEA 0183 input or to
NMEA 2000 via the wired interface (sold separately).

Straightforward installation

WS700 connects to your instrument system via a single mast
cable, available in 4 different lengths from 25 to 80m.
