What is B&G anyway?

B&G (Brookes and Gatehouse) was founded in the United Kingdom in 1956 by two avid sailors. What began with mechanical instruments has grown into one of the most innovative brands in the sailing world.

From the very beginning, B&G has focused on navigation technology for sailboats – from daysailers to cruisers. Innovations from ocean racing are flowing into the recreational boating world. This focus makes B&G the leading authority in sailboat navigation.

Fully developed for sailors

While other brands cater to multiple target groups, B&G puts the sailor first. This is reflected in features such as:

• Laylines for optimal tacking moments
• Sail polars to maximize boat performance
• Tactical racing aids for competitive sailing
• Wind analysis to refine course and speed

Every detail is designed for better performance, more control and maximum safety.

Smart technology that really helps

Sailing boat navigation requires real-time insights that help you move forward. B&G combines smart technology with ease of use:

• Masttop wind sensors for extremely accurate wind information
• Real-time price advice based on your boat data
• Integration with autopilots, radar, AIS and engine data
• Intuitive chart plotters such as the Vulcan and Zeus series

Developed and tested at sea — where it counts.

Intuitive operation in every situation

When the wind is blowing hard or the sun is shining brightly, you want to be able to rely on your screen completely. B&G plotters are built for deck use, with:

• Razor-sharp displays, even in bright sunlight
• Fast, logical menus
• Easy to operate, even with wet hands or gloves

Full integration on board

B&G works seamlessly with your systems via NMEA 2000. One screen, all the data:

• Wind, depth and speed
• Autopilot and engine data
• Radar, AIS and more

This creates a powerful, clear network that you can operate from the chartplotter.

Built for real work at sea

Salt, vibrations, temperature fluctuations—equipment needs to withstand a beating. B&G is known for:

• Sustainable build quality
• Water and UV resistance
• Reliable performance on long journeys

Chosen by professionals – and recreational users

B&G has been the choice of top offshore sailors for decades, but it's just as popular with cruisers, weekend sailors, and those just getting started. Their tools aren't just for the pros—they allow every sailor to sail smarter and safer.
