Raymarine i60 Wind Display System - Analog Close-Hauled
Raymarine i60 Wind Display System - Analog Close-Hauled — Product description
Enhance your sailing performance with the Raymarine i60 Wind Display System in its Analog Close-Hauled configuration. Tailored for competitive sailors and performance-oriented cruisers, this instrument zeroes in on those critical close-hauled angles where every degree counts. Imagine pinpointing the perfect tack angle or monitoring velocity made good (VMG) with crystal-clear precision, all from a compact helm station. Unlike generic wind instruments, the i60's specialized dial focuses on -60° to +60° relative to the bow, making it indispensable for racing fleets or anyone pushing their boat's limits upwind.
What sets this display apart is its blend of analog tradition and digital smarts. The sweeping needle gauge delivers an intuitive feel for wind shifts, while the high-contrast LCD spits out speed, Beaufort scale, max gusts, and more. Day or night, red backlighting ensures you never miss a beat, even in choppy seas or fading light. It's not just a gadget—it's a tactical edge built for the rigors of real-world sailing.
Standout Features for Serious Sailors
- Focused Close-Hauled View: Color-coded port and starboard segments highlight optimal 20°-60° angles, helping you trim sails faster and react to headers or lifts instantly.
- Comprehensive Data Suite: True and apparent wind speed/angle, VMG, tack angle, Beaufort force, and gust history—all accessible via simple button presses.
- Seamless Network Integration: SeaTalkng native, with easy bridges to NMEA2000 or legacy SeaTalk. Use as a master with your own transducer or repeater in a multi-station setup.
- Rugged Build for Marine Life: IPX6 waterproofing shrugs off spray and rain; operates from -20°C to +55°C, with low power draw under 1W as a repeater.
- Versatile Mounting: Low-profile surface mount included; optional trunnion kit for bulkheads or pods. Matches ST60+ footprint for straightforward upgrades.
- Visibility Mastery: 320x240 pixel LCD with extra-large digits and adjustable red backlight. Group dimming syncs with other Raymarine gear.
Why Sailors Swear by the i60 Close-Hauled
In the heat of a race, split-second decisions on wind angle can win or lose legs. This display's magnified close-hauled scale eliminates guesswork, letting you hold the perfect layline without constant glances aloft. Cruisers appreciate its reliability for reefing calls or optimizing poling angles in trade winds. Powerboaters dabbling in fishing or coastal runs find wind data invaluable for planning drifts or avoiding uncomfortable headwinds.
Integration is a breeze—pair it with Raymarine autopilots for wind-based course adjustments, or MFDs like a-Series/e-Series for a unified helm. Low power suits solar setups or long passages, and the keypad interface keeps gloved hands happy. Forget fiddly menus; toggle data fields effortlessly while heeling at 30°.
"The color zones are a game-changer for upwind legs—spot close-hauled sweet spots at a glance." – Regatta racer feedback echoed across forums.

Effortless Setup for Peak Performance
Raymarine designed the i60 for front-mount simplicity—cut a precise hole matching ST60+ templates, secure with the gasket, and wire via color-coded SeaTalkng spurs. Connect your masthead vane (traditional or Rotavecta) directly as master, or daisy-chain as repeater. Calibrate once via intuitive prompts: align heading, set damping for your boat's motion, and you're dialed. Pro tip: Route cables through deck glands early to avoid chafe, and test true wind calc with log data for accuracy. Full helm sync elevates your setup from good to pro-level.
Perfect Fit for These Sailing Scenarios
- Racing: Track VMG and tacks to outpace rivals; color zones flag ideal sheeting angles.
- Cruising: Monitor gusts for safe sail changes; repeater mode shares data to nav station.
- Club Racing/ODs: Compact size suits Melges or J/24 helms; low power for battery boats.
- Multihull Madness: High-res wind speed aids apparent/true diffs at speed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Raymarine i60 Close-Hauled Wind Display function standalone?
No, it's a repeater display requiring a primary wind source like an i60 Wind master or smart transducer on the network. This ensures reliable data sharing across your system.
Does it calculate true wind data?
Yes, true wind speed and angle compute when boat speed (log) data is available via SeaTalkng, vital for accurate VMG in varying conditions.
Is it compatible with older Raymarine systems?
Absolutely—adapters bridge to SeaTalk1, and the 110x115mm cutout matches ST60+ for drop-in upgrades without helm surgery.
How does the close-hauled scale benefit racers?
The expanded -60°/+60° view with color-coded zones pinpoints luffing risks and lift opportunities, sharpening upwind VMG without mental math.
What's the power draw like for off-grid sailing?
Ultra-efficient at under 1W as repeater, rising to 2.4W max with transducer—ideal for solar/battery rigs on extended voyages.
Can I dim it with other instruments?
Yes, local and group dimming via SeaTalkng keeps night watches glare-free across i60, i70, or autopilot displays.
Does it support NMEA2000 directly?
SeaTalkng is primary, but standard converters enable full NMEA2000 integration for mixed-brand networks.
Equip your boat with the Raymarine i60 Analog Close-Hauled Wind Display and transform wind intel from data to dominance. Whether chasing podiums or perfect horizons, its precision and toughness deliver where it matters most—on the water.
The i60 Wind instrument display calculates both true and apparent wind speed and angle. Wind angle is presented on an easy-to-understand analog needle gauge, while wind speed is reported on its high-contrast LCD readout. The i60 Wind instrument provides critical information for sailing vessels and is also right at home onboard well-equipped cruising and fishing powerboats. The i60 Wind instrument is engineered for easy viewing, by day or night. Its high-contrast LCD and red backlighting combine to deliver superior visibility under all conditions. i60 instruments also support local and group dimming control. This makes it easy to adjust the brightness of multiple Raymarine products all at once. Simple push button controls provide easy access to all its data displays. i60 series instruments are the perfect combination of powerful performance, easy operation and rugged reliability. All i60 instruments are designed to fully integrate with Raymarine’s autopilots and other navigation equipment.
