Raymarine Wireless Vertical Wind Transmitter
Raymarine Wireless Vertical Wind Transmitter — Product description
Upgrade your sailing setup with the Raymarine T222 Vertical Wind Transmitter, a game-changer for capturing precise wind data right where it matters most—above the turbulence of the masthead. Traditional wind sensors often battle distorted airflow from the mast, leading to skewed true wind speed (TWS) and true wind angle (TWA) readings. This innovative 1.35m masthead unit elevates your sensor into undisturbed air, delivering the reliable data serious sailors demand for optimal performance, whether you're racing or cruising.
Why Choose the T222 for Superior Wind Measurement?
Sailors know that even small inaccuracies in wind readings can throw off your strategy. The T222 tackles this head-on with its lightweight carbon fiber design, which keeps weight aloft to a minimum while ensuring durability against harsh marine conditions. By positioning the transmitter higher, it minimizes upwash errors—especially critical when running downwind—and cuts through wind shear for readings you can trust. Pair it with your Micronet displays for seamless wireless integration, and calibrate effortlessly from the cockpit without climbing the mast.
Key Advantages in Real-World Sailing
- Cleaner Air Readings: Lifts the sensor 1.35m above the masthead, escaping the chaotic airflow that plagues conventional setups.
- Performance Precision: Accurate TWS and TWA data empowers polar diagrams, velocity made good calculations, and tactical decisions.
- Hassle-Free Installation: Mounts easily with the mast in place, no need for major rigging changes or downtime.
- Extended Runtime: Up to 300 hours of operation on a single charge, perfect for long passages or regattas.
- Robust Build: Carbon fiber construction resists corrosion and fatigue, built to withstand UV exposure, salt spray, and high winds.
Seamless Integration with Your Micronet System
The T222 shines within the Raymarine Micronet ecosystem, transmitting data wirelessly to compatible displays, multifunction units, or even mobile apps. No messy wiring runs—just quick pairing and you're set. For racing teams, this means real-time wind shifts at your fingertips, helping trim sails perfectly and outmaneuver the fleet. Cruisers benefit too, with dependable data for safe passage planning in variable conditions.
Installation Tips for Peak Performance
Positioning is everything. Secure the included mast-top mount to ensure the unit aligns vertically, maximizing exposure to true wind flow. Once mounted, use any Micronet display for straightforward calibration—adjust for local conditions like heel angle or boat speed to fine-tune accuracy. Regular checks on battery status via your network keep things running smoothly, and its low profile reduces windage for better boat balance.
Real Sailor Feedback: Transforming Downwind Legs
Many skippers report game-changing improvements on reaches and runs, where upwash from the mast can add 10-15 degrees of error. With the T222, downwind sails set more confidently, spinnakers fly true, and your boat speed holds steady. It's not just about numbers; it's about feeling the boat respond exactly as it should.
How does the Raymarine T222 improve wind accuracy compared to standard sensors?
By extending 1.35m above the masthead, it avoids turbulent airflow and upwash, providing precise TWS and TWA data essential for performance sailing.
Is the T222 compatible with all Micronet displays?
Yes, it wirelessly connects to any Micronet display for easy setup, calibration, and data viewing without additional hardware.
What's the battery life like on the Vertical Wind Transmitter?
It offers around 300 hours of autonomy, making it ideal for extended sails with minimal maintenance.
Can I install the T222 without removing the mast?
Absolutely—its design allows straightforward mast-top mounting while the mast stays in place, saving time and effort.
Does the T222 help with racing performance analytics?
Yes, accurate wind data supports advanced functions like polar tables, laylines, and VMC calculations for competitive edges.
How durable is the carbon fiber construction?
Carbon fiber makes it lightweight yet tough, resisting marine elements like salt, UV, and mechanical stress for long-term reliability.
Where should I calibrate the T222?
Calibration is simple from any connected Micronet display, allowing adjustments for your boat's specifics right from the deck.
Equip your vessel with the T222 and sail smarter, not harder. Precision wind data isn't a luxury—it's your edge on the water.
This unique wireless 1.35m (4'5") mast head unit with transmitter lifts the wind sensor into clearer air. This enables it to provide highly accurate figures for TWS and TWA by reducing errors from disturbed windflow around the mast head and dramatically reduces upwash when sailing downwind, giving you accurate data for performance funtions. Easily fitted with the mast in place. Calibration can be done at any Micronet display.
