Overview
Garmin GWind Race Wired Transducer (010-01228-00)
The Garmin GWind Race Wired Transducer is specifically designed for racing sailboats, providing high-accuracy wind data for superior performance. It features a 3.3-foot (1-meter) straight pole, which elevates the transducer above the mast to minimize turbulence errors from sail wash. The combination of twin-fin technology and a three-bladed propeller ensures precise True Wind Speed (TWS) and stable True Wind Angle (TWA), even in lighter air conditions. Additionally, the optic reading technique enhances performance by delivering excellent accuracy at low wind speeds with superior linearity.
Key Features:
- Optimized for Racing Sailboats – Designed to provide high-precision wind data for competitive sailing.
- 3.3-Foot (1-Meter) Straight Pole – Raises the transducer above the mast to eliminate turbulence errors caused by sail wash, ensuring uncompromised accuracy.
- Three-Bladed Propeller – Offers more accurate True Wind Speed (TWS), especially in light wind conditions, while maintaining constant efficiency.
- Twin-Fin Design – Enhances stability for True Wind Angle (TWA), reducing fluctuations caused by boat movement.
- Optic Reading Technology – Provides superior performance at low wind speeds with excellent linearity for precise measurements.
- GND™ 10 Black Box Bridge – Bridges NMEA 2000® data to the Nexus Network, allowing Garmin chartplotters to integrate seamlessly with Nexus sail equipment and vice versa.
- Lightweight and Durable Cable – Designed for easy installation while ensuring reliable data transmission.
- Plug-and-Play Installation – Simple connectivity between Nexus, Garmin chartplotters, and NMEA 2000 systems, reducing setup time and complexity.
With its race-optimized design, elevated positioning for reduced turbulence errors, and advanced wind measurement technology, the Garmin GWind Race Wired Transducer is an essential tool for competitive sailors looking to maximize their performance on the water.
