Garmin gWind Race Transducer - 010-01228-00

Designed for racing sailboats, the gWind Race features a 3.3' (1 m) straight pole to raise the transducer above the mast to remove turbulence errors. Features twin-fin technology with 3-bladed propeller for more accurate TWS in lighter air while the twin-fin design gives a more stable TWA. The 3-bladed propeller, unlike a cups design, is always efficient.

Combined with optic reading, this transducer provides superior accuracy at low wind speeds and also provides for excellent linearity.

Features:

• Designed for racing sailboats
• 3.3' (1 m) straight pole raises the wind transducer above the mast to remove turbulence errors from the sail wash
• Three-bladed propeller for more accurate True Wind Speed (TWS) in lighter air twin-fin design gives a more stable True Wind Angle (TWA)
• Optic reading technique provides superior performance at low wind speeds and excellent linearity
• GND™ 10 black box bridges NMEA 2000® data to Nexus Network and enables Garmin compatible chartplotters integrate with Nexus sail equipment and vice versa
