The B&G WS710 Wind Pack pairs the 0.8m vertical carbon wind sensor with a 35m mast cable and a junction box for a complete masthead wind solution. The high-modulus carbon spar lifts the sensor into clean air above the sail plan for the most accurate apparent wind angle and speed. Ideal for performance cruisers and racers running B&G or Simrad instruments.

Description

The WS710 Wind Pack offers superb aerodynamics and accuracy. A 0.8m high modulus carbon spar elevates the wind sensor into clear air, above any sail-plan disturbance at the masthead. Pack includes 35m mast cable and junction box to aid mast-base connection.

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.

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.

WS700 sensors are compatible with a variety of instrument systems.

What is included in the WS710 wind pack?
The pack includes the WS710 0.8m vertical wind sensor, a WS300 35m (115 ft) mast cable, a 7 terminal junction box to aid mast-base connection, and a documentation pack.
Does the WS710 pack include a NMEA 2000 interface?
No. The sensor outputs NMEA 0183 directly. To connect to a NMEA 2000 network you add the optional WS310 interface.
Which systems is the WS710 compatible with?
It works with Triton, Triton2, H5000 and WTP3 (some via the WS310 interface) and any NMEA 0183 system. It is not compatible with H3000.
Why does the WS710 use a vertical carbon spar?
The vertical spar lifts the vane into clean air above the masthead, minimising sail-plan disturbance for more accurate wind data with less calibration.
