B&G Hercules Sailing Processor Product Description
Why Choose the B&G Hercules for Your Sailing Adventures?
Imagine slicing through waves with pinpoint accuracy, where every puff of wind and shift in current feeds into a system that anticipates your next move. The B&G Hercules Sailing Processor transforms raw data into actionable insights, empowering competitive racers and long-distance cruisers alike. Its quad-core brain processes complex sailing metrics faster than ever, delivering laylines, velocity made good, and polar performance data that can shave minutes off your race times or ensure safer passages.
Unlike basic processors, Hercules handles the chaos of real-world sailing—gusts, heel angles, and multiple data streams from sensors across your yacht. Pair it with B&G displays for a seamless cockpit experience, or dive into post-sail analysis via intuitive tools that reveal where you excelled and where to tweak your setup.
Engineered for Unmatched Precision on the Water
At its core, this processor thrives on integration. It fuses inputs from dual wind sensors, dual rudders, and even load cells for masthead accuracy that rivals top racing teams. Automated calibrations simplify setup, so you're not fiddling with dials mid-race. Built-in barometric pressure sensing tracks weather shifts in real-time, helping you call puffs or gybe early.
For multihull sailors, it adapts effortlessly, computing true wind angles and speeds across asymmetric hulls. Monohull racers appreciate the rich dataset feeding start timers, tide corrections, and route optimization—tools that turn good sailors into great ones.
Record, Replay, and Refine Your Sailing Data
Sailing smarter starts with data you can trust and revisit. Pop in a micro SD card to capture hours of high-res logs, including custom markers for sail trims, crew weights, or tactical notes. The fresh web interface—accessible from any device—lets you configure settings, playback sessions, and export for third-party analysis without docking software.
Connect via the B&G app for on-the-go reviews, or upload to cloud storage for sharing with your crew or coach. No more guesswork: spot patterns in upwind performance or downwind surfing to dial in your boat's potential.
Seamless Connectivity for Modern Yacht Systems
Hercules slots into your existing setup like it was always there. Dual Ethernet ports handle high-bandwidth data flows to chartplotters and instruments, while NMEA 2000 keeps legacy gear in the loop. Nine analog channels gobble up signals from transducers, and serial ports link older sensors.
Expect compatibility with Triton 2, H5000, and Nemesis displays—pushing sailing-specific readouts like startlines and wind shifts directly to your helm. Add the Hercules Expansion module for even more inputs, making it future-proof for evolving fleets.
Built Tough for Harsh Marine Environments
Salt spray, pounding seas, and temperature swings? Hercules laughs them off with IPX6/7 waterproofing and a -15°C to +55°C operating range. Surface-mount it securely—its compact 230x192x63mm footprint fits tight consoles. Compass-safe at 500mm, it won't throw off your heading data.
Power it reliably with 12/24V systems (9-31V tolerance), backed by a 3A fuse recommendation. Whether offshore cruising or inshore racing, it delivers uninterrupted performance when it counts.
