B&G WS740S Vertical Wind Sensor 1.8 m

The WS740 high-performance wind sensor offers superb aerodynamics and accuracy. A 1.8m high modulus Ocean spec 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.
