Key Features:

  • NMEA Compatibility: Supports NMEA 0183 ver 2.0 for both wind and GPS data.
  • Display Options: Includes reaching and close-hauled displays, full 360º display, true and apparent wind readouts, digital VMG, and max speed displays.
  • Sensor Design: The ultrasonic masthead unit eliminates errors common in traditional wind vane sensors, such as those caused by heel and gyroscopic effects.
  • Additional Features: Optional GPS repeater and steering indicator, with multiple repeater options available.

Technical Specifications:

  • Display Voltage: 12V DC
  • Current Consumption: Display: 70 mA Max, Sensor: 25 mA Max
  • Wind Speed Range: 1 – 100 Knots
  • Wind Speed Units: Knots/MPS/Beaufort
  • NMEA GPS Input/Output: Supports most standard GPS sentences (RMB, RMC, GGA, GLL, etc.)

Conclusion: The Windmaster is a reliable and advanced tool for sailors, providing accurate wind and GPS data with a user-friendly interface and robust design.

NMEA Compatible No Moving Parts Sensor Reaching and Close Hauled Displays (Speed & Direction) True AND Apparent Readouts Digital Max Speed Display Boat Speed Display Multiple Repeater Options Steering Indicator EchoPilot are pleased to announce that the new Windmaster has passed all its trials with flying colours A radical approach has been taken with both the design of the display and the masthead sensor. An extremely high contrast dot matrix display offers a range of possible screens. Apparent and true wind readings are available on each of the wind displays (true wind is only available if a log transducer is connected). Three GPS repeater screens are included as a bonus (including Echopilot's famous pseudo-compass steering aid to a waypoint for sailboats), allowing a GPS to be connected as well as the wind sensor if an NMEA combiner is used. The ultrasonic masthead unit has no moving parts and is easily installed on any mast. Two pairs of ultrasonic crystals give both wind speed and direction in NMEA 0183. Errors common on wind vane sensors due to heel and gyroscopic effects (precessing) are virtually eliminated.
