B&G WS310 vane 35 m

B&G WS310 Wired Wind Sensor (35m Cable) | High-Precision Vanes for Sailing

Experience unparalleled accuracy and reliability on the water with the B&G WS310 Wired Wind Sensor. Designed for serious cruisers and club racers, this high-performance instrument provides the exceptionally precise wind data you need to make smarter sailing and tactical decisions. Whether you´re trimming sails for optimal performance or relying on your autopilot, the WS310 delivers the confidence that comes from superior data.

The WS310 is the result of over 200.000 hours of intensive, combined field and wind tunnel testing. This rigorous validation process ensures that every sensor meets B&G´s exacting standards for performance and durability, giving you trustworthy wind angle and speed information in any sea state or weather condition. Its aerodynamic design is directly inspired by B&G´s grand prix and ocean racing vanes, minimizing turbulence and maximizing accuracy for stable readings you can count on.

Key Benefits:

* Superior Accuracy: Gain a true competitive edge with highly accurate True Wind Direction (TWD) and True Wind Speed (TWS) data. This precision allows for more effective use of B&G´s advanced sailing features like SailSteer and StartLine, helping you sail smarter and faster.
* Uncompromising Reliability: Built to withstand the harshest marine environments, the WS310 has been tested to the extreme. From freezing temperatures to hurricane-force winds, you can trust your wind data when it matters most.
* Enhanced Autopilot Performance: By feeding your autopilot system cleaner, more accurate wind data, the WS310 enables smoother and more efficient steering to wind. This not only improves course-keeping but also reduces power consumption and wear on your steering system.
* Straightforward Installation: The WS310 is designed as a simple upgrade for existing B&G systems. It uses the same single mast cable as previous B&G wind sensors, making replacement quick and hassle-free. This package includes a 35-meter mast cable and a NMEA 2000 interface for seamless integration into your vessel´s network.

Main Features:

* High-performance wind measurement for both angle and speed.
* Aerodynamically optimized profile for stable and accurate readings.
* Extensively validated through rigorous real-world and wind tunnel testing.
* Includes 35-meter mast cable and NMEA 2000 interface.
* Seamless integration with B&G Triton², H5000, and Nemesis instrument systems.
* Low power consumption for minimal impact on your boat´s electrical systems.

Vanes Attribute:
The B&G WS310 features a one-piece vane design engineered for maximum stability and responsiveness. The shape of the vanes is aerodynamically crafted to provide consistent, accurate data across a wide range of wind speeds and heeling angles, ensuring you always have a clear picture of the wind´s behaviour.
