1️⃣ Laylines: always the smartest course

Laylines calculate the most efficient course to your waypoint based on true wind, boat speed, and your polars. This prevents unnecessary meters and timing errors when tacking. B&G translates data into real sailing decisions, resulting in peace of mind and efficiency.

Tip: Use Laylines as a training aid and analyze your routes afterwards.

2️⃣ SailSteer: all your data at a glance

SailSteer combines wind, speed, course, laylines, and waypoints in a single, clear screen. Fewer screen changes, greater clarity—ideal for small crews or solo sailors.

Tip: Create profiles for each sailing situation (Cruise/Race) so you always have the right overview.

3️⃣ StartLine: the perfect race start

StartLine (developed with competitive sailors) gives you the exact distance to the starting line and optimal timing. Digital precision that gives you an edge from club level to higher.

Tip: Combine with RacePanel for tactical support at the start and the first leg.

4️⃣ Advanced Wind Data: Trim like a pro

With Advanced Wind Data, you can see true and apparent wind, shifts, and trends in real time. Racing experience translated to recreational boating: faster and more consistent trimming.

Tip: Place the wind transmitter away from turbulence and use AutoCal for automatic calibration.

5️⃣ Autopilot: your digital helmsman

The B&G Autopilot not only maintains course but also intelligently responds to wind shifts and waves. Essential for solo sailors and small crews: hands-free for trim and navigation, with added peace of mind and safety.

Recommendation: Combine with a reliable rudder feedback unit and drive unit and have the installation carried out professionally.
