B&G WS710 vertical wind sensor (0.8m)

B&G WS710 Vertical Wind Sensor (0.8 m) – Accurate wind measurements above the mast top

The B&G WS710 is a high-performance vertical wind sensor with a 0.8-meter high-modulus carbon spar. This spar positions the sensor above the masthead, allowing measurements to be taken in undisturbed airflows, free from turbulence caused by sails or mast structures. The result is exceptional accuracy in wind direction and speed, essential for both cruisers and racers striving for optimal performance.

Why choose the WS710 vertical wind sensor?

• Superior aerodynamics: Designed for minimal air resistance and maximum measurement precision.
• 0.8 meter carbon spar: High-modulus carbon fiber creates a stiff and lightweight construction, which positions the sensor above turbulent airflows.
• Reliable data: Delivers consistent and accurate wind information, even in challenging sailing conditions.
• Compatibility: Seamless integration with B&G systems via NMEA 2000® or NMEA 0183 (interface required).

Who is this system made for?

The WS710 is ideal for sailors who require highly accurate wind data. Whether you're a cruiser on long voyages or a racer striving for optimal performance, this sensor offers the precision and reliability you need. Its elevated position above the masthead makes it particularly suitable for yachts where accurate wind measurements are crucial.
