Unlock Peak Performance on the Racecourse

At the core of elite sailing setups lies a powerhouse that transforms raw sensor data into actionable insights. This advanced sailing processor powers Grand Prix racing systems, enabling skippers and tacticians to make split-second decisions with precision. Whether you're chasing podium finishes in offshore classics or fine-tuning your America's Cup contender, it handles complex calculations for laylines, optimal angles, and wind shifts, giving your crew the edge in the most demanding conditions.

Imagine scripting your own performance metrics—custom VMG targets based on your boat's unique polars or automated heel compensation during tacks. This level of customization turns standard data into personalized race-winning intelligence, far beyond off-the-shelf instruments.

Python-Powered Customization for Serious Sailors

Dive deep into your sailing data with built-in Python scripting. Create bespoke variables like real-time sail trim efficiency or dynamic startline bias, pulling from the full suite of onboard sensors. Calibration routines become effortless, tailored to your vessel's quirks, while support for decoding proprietary third-party signals ensures seamless integration with cutting-edge tech like advanced foils or custom weather stations.

Sailors report shaving seconds off upwind legs by scripting polar table adjustments on the fly, adapting to sea state and crew weight shifts without interrupting the flow.

Seamless Connectivity Across Your Race Deck

Bridge the gap between legacy gear and next-gen tools with dual Ethernet ports and NMEA 2000 compatibility. Plug into existing displays from Triton or H5000 series for instant upgrades, or expand with Nemesis processing for massive data throughput. ModBus opens doors to industrial-grade sensors, while enhanced compass inputs deliver rock-solid heading data even in slam gybes.

In high-stakes regattas, this connectivity shines: aggregate wind, depth, and GPS feeds into a unified stream, feeding tactics apps or onboard sims without lag.

Intuitive Control from Anywhere Onboard

Manage gigabytes of logged data at 1 kHz resolution through a sleek web interface on any device, or sync effortlessly with the dedicated app for real-time tweaks. LED indicators keep you informed at a glance, while built-in strain relief and rugged housing withstand the harshest marine environments.

Pro tip: Use the Micro SD slot for post-race analysis—export polars, replay maneuvers, and refine setups back at base, turning every session into a data goldmine.

Built for the Brutal Demands of Elite Sailing

Engineered with a quad-core industrial processor, it thrives in temperatures from freezing Southern Ocean squalls to tropical trade wind scorchers. Nine analog channels capture everything from transducers to custom pots, three pulse inputs track RPM or log, and dual alarms alert to critical thresholds like excessive heel or depth alarms.

  • Robust 12/24V power handling with 9-31V tolerance for unreliable generators
  • Integrated barometer for instant pressure trend analysis
  • IPX6/IPX7 waterproofing survives green water over the deck
  • Compact surface-mount design fits tight nav stations

Supporting a vast array of NMEA sentences for input and output, it ensures compatibility with global fleets, from Volvo Ocean Race boats to weekend warriors scaling up.

Why Racers Choose This Processor

In the pressure cooker of match racing or fleet starts, reliability is non-negotiable. This unit processes at blistering speeds, delivering processed data like true wind angles and target boat speed without the bottlenecks of lesser systems. Pair it with forward-scanning sonar or LiDAR wind masts for futuristic setups, scripting overlays that predict puffs before they hit.

Veteran tacticians praise its logging for debriefs—spot under-trim patterns or routing inefficiencies that cost places, then iterate with scripted fixes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Python scripting useful for sailing processors?

Answer: Python scripting lets you create custom sailing metrics, like personalized layline calculations or heel-adjusted polars, directly accessing all sensor data for tailored race performance.

How does it integrate with other B&G sailing instruments?

Answer: Dual Ethernet and NMEA 2000 ports connect seamlessly with Triton, H5000, and Nemesis displays, sharing data instantly across your network.

Can I use third-party sensors with this processor?

Answer: Yes, ModBus support and custom decoding handle third-party compasses, weather stations, and industrial sensors effortlessly.

What's the data logging capacity?

Answer: Micro SD up to 512 GB stores 1 kHz data for extensive race replays and analysis, exportable via web interface.

Is it suitable for harsh offshore racing conditions?

Answer: Absolutely—IPX6/IPX7 rating, -15°C to +55°C operation, and built-in cable strain relief handle extreme weather and waves.

How do I manage settings and logs?

Answer: Use the intuitive web interface on PC/tablet or integrate with the B&G app for full remote control and monitoring.
