gillmarine.comWS700 WIND SENSOR
B&G has released a new vertical wind sensor
designed for race yachts and larger cruising
yachts. The instrument is mounted
on a spar that elevates it above sail-
plan disturbances, meaning the
measurement error is under ±0.5°
for wind direction and ±0.2 for
wind speed. The design was
optimised following more
than 500 hours of wind
tunnel testing and more than
200,000 hours on the water.
