Raymarine i60 Wireless Wind and Backbone Kit Product Description
Upgrade your sailboat's instrumentation with a seamless blend of wireless freedom and wired reliability. This kit transforms how you capture and display critical wind data, making every tack and gybe more informed. Imagine ditching heavy cabling up the mast while enjoying pinpoint accuracy from solar-powered sensors that keep running through long races or extended cruises.
Why Sailors Choose Wireless Wind Systems for Precision Performance
In competitive sailing, split-second decisions rely on trustworthy wind readings. Traditional wired transducers demand complex mast wiring, risking chafe and downtime during regattas. This setup flips the script: a lightweight transmitter at the masthead beams data wirelessly to your cockpit displays. Paired with a central gateway, it feeds true wind angle, speed, and even mast rotation into your network—perfect for wing-sailed yachts chasing podium finishes.
The large, analog-style needle sweeps smoothly across a high-contrast LCD, delivering glances as quick as a puff tells you gust strength. Night sailing? Soft backlighting ensures readability without blinding you. And since it taps into your boat's backbone network, wind intel flows effortlessly to chartplotters, autopilots, and crew stations for synchronized tactics.
Effortless Integration Across Your Boat's Electronics
Building or expanding a system shouldn't mean rewiring the boat. This kit's gateway acts as a translator, bridging wireless sensors with your established wired gear. Share depth, speed, GPS position, and heading across displays—no silos, just unified data. For racers, it unlocks layline calculations on compatible multifunction screens, overlaying optimal upwind angles right where you helm.
Solar-rechargeable components mean minimal drain on your house battery. The masthead unit's battery holds charge for days, topped up by sunlight during daylight hours. Add a portable remote for calibration or roaming data checks—clip it on, glance at trends via graphs, then stow it securely.
Installation Simplified: From Unboxing to First Readout
Setting up takes hours, not days. Mount the gateway anywhere dry and powered. Attach the backbone components to form your network spine—spur cables fan out to displays and sensors. Up the mast? Secure the vane unit with its low-profile bracket; no drilling or conduit needed. Pair wirelessly via the remote in under a minute. Calibrate once for yaw and airflow compensation, and you're sailing with true wind data that factors in boat motion and heel.
- Pro Tip: Position the gateway close to your MFD for fastest data refresh, minimizing latency in lively conditions.
- Maintenance Hack: Rinse sensors post-sail to fend off salt buildup; solar panels stay efficient longer.
- Racing Edge: Enable mast rotation sensing for canting keel or winged rigs—wind data stays spot-on as the rig twists.
Real-World Reliability on the Water
Built tough for marine abuse, these components shrug off spray and submersion. The rugged transmitter handles 50-knot blasts without flinching, while the display's IPX6/7 rating means it thrives in cockpits that double as wave catchers. Low power draw pairs perfectly with solar setups, ideal for offshore passages where outlets are scarce.
Sailors report crisper tactics from the system's fast updates—apparent wind shifts register instantly, letting you anticipate headers before rivals react. Whether club racing, coastal cruising, or bluewater adventures, this kit elevates situational awareness without the wiring wars.
Expand Your Setup Seamlessly
Start with wind, then grow. Add speed transducers, depth sounders, or GPS for a full suite. The backbone supports it all, future-proofing your investment. Wireless opens doors to remote repeats anywhere on deck—coach from the rail or monitor from the nav station.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the wireless wind transmitter improve masthead installation?
It eliminates the need for running cables down the mast, reducing weight aloft, installation time, and potential failure points from chafe or water ingress. Simply mount, pair, and go.
Can this kit work with rotating masts on performance yachts?
Yes, when paired with compatible sensors, it tracks mast rotation angle, delivering accurate true wind data even as the rig swings, essential for winged or canting keel boats.
What network does this integrate with for sharing data?
It uses the SeaTalkng backbone, a robust bus system that connects displays, autopilots, and multifunction units, enabling shared data like wind, speed, and position across the boat.
How long does the solar-powered battery last?
The transmitter's battery supports over 300 hours of operation between charges, with integrated solar panels recharging it during daylight for indefinite runtime in sunny conditions.
Is the remote display useful beyond calibration?
Absolutely—it's a portable multifunction viewer showing any networked data, including line graphs for trends. Wear it on a lanyard or mount it for on-deck access anywhere.
What weather protection does this system offer?
Rated IPX6/IPX7, it withstands heavy rain, spray, and brief immersion, with corrosion-resistant materials ensuring longevity in harsh marine environments.
Does it provide true wind calculations?
Yes, advanced algorithms process apparent wind with boat speed, heading, and yaw data to compute true wind angle and speed, vital for precise sailing.
The innovative Micro-Talk Gateway can be mounted anywhere onboard and plugs into the boat’s SeaTalkng network. It allows high speed transmission of data such as wind angle, wind speed, depth, boat speed, temperature, heading, GPS data, time, date and navigation information between Raymarine and Tacktick wireless instruments and traditional wired instruments, MFDs and autopilots. The Micro-Talk Gateway allows you the flexibility to mix-and-match any combination of wired or wireless Raymarine instruments, transducers, multifunction displays and autopilots. You’ll appreciate the benefits of simple installation, seamless integration, with rugged reliability. Whether you are building a new system from scratch, or expanding an existing system, the Micro-Talk Gateway makes for a totally simple and superior integration between components. The Micro-Talk Gateway enables performance-minded sailors to take advantage of the enhanced accuracy and installation convenience offered by Raymarine’s wireless, solar-powered wind transmitter options. Now it’s possible to use these ultra-lightweight and highly accurate sensors with Raymarine i60, i70 and i70s Instrument systems. When used in conjunction with the optional Raymarine Wireless Mast Rotation Sensor, the system can also provide ultra-precise wind information onboard sailing craft with rotating masts including winged sailboats. Mast rotation angle is also transmitted to Raymarine LightHouse II (v17) Multifunction Displays.
