Description

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.

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.

Why choose the 1.4m WS730 over a shorter spar?
The 1.4m spar lifts the vane further into clean air above the masthead, which can improve accuracy on larger or more powerful rigs where masthead turbulence is greater.
How do I connect the WS730 to my instruments?
The sensor outputs a NMEA 0183 MWV,R sentence at 10Hz directly to compatible systems, and connects to a NMEA 2000 network through the optional WS310 interface.
Is the WS730 compatible with my B&G system?
The WS730 works with Triton, Triton2, H5000 and WTP3 systems (some via the optional WS310 interface) and any NMEA 0183 system. It is not compatible with H3000.
What cable lengths are available?
WS700 mast cable is offered in 20, 35, 50 and 80 metre (66, 115, 164 and 262 ft) options.
