Raymarine i60 Wind Display System w/Masthead Wind Vane Transducer

Raymarine i60 Wind Display System w/Masthead Wind Vane Transducer Product Description

Equip your vessel with precise wind data that enhances every sail or cruise. The Raymarine i60 Wind Display System, complete with its masthead wind vane transducer, delivers real-time insights into apparent and true wind speed and angle. Ideal for competitive racers who need every edge or leisurely cruisers seeking reliable performance, this instrument transforms how you read the breeze. Its intuitive analog needle sweeps across a clear dial for wind angle, while a crisp digital readout handles speed metrics, ensuring you stay informed without distraction.

Why Accurate Wind Readings Matter on the Water

Understanding wind isn't just about numbers—it's about making smarter decisions. Apparent wind reflects what you feel on deck, crucial for sail trim and immediate tactics. True wind, calculated when paired with speed and heading data, reveals the actual breeze direction for optimal course plotting. This system shines in variable conditions, from choppy bays to open ocean races, helping you optimize VMG (velocity made good) and tack angles for peak efficiency. Mariners trust it for its masthead placement, which minimizes boat motion interference for superior accuracy compared to deck-level sensors.

Superior Visibility and Control

Crafted for relentless marine environments, the display boasts a high-contrast LCD that pops under sunlight and pairs with selectable red backlighting for low-light precision. Color-coded segments highlight close-hauled angles on port and starboard, instantly signaling optimal sail settings. Simple keypad controls let you cycle through wind speed, Beaufort scale, gust peaks, VMG, and more. Local or group dimming syncs effortlessly with other instruments, creating a cohesive helm setup.

Seamless Integration into Your Navigation Setup

Built for modern boating, it thrives as a standalone master unit with direct transducer connection or as a repeater pulling data from networked sources. SeaTalkng compatibility means plug-and-play with Raymarine autopilots, multifunction displays, and sensors. Adapt to NMEA2000 or legacy SeaTalk effortlessly, future-proofing your system. Low power draw keeps batteries happy during long passages, and its compact footprint slots into existing ST60+ cutouts for hassle-free upgrades.

Robust Build for Everyday Adventures

IPX6-rated waterproofing shrugs off spray and rain, while operating from -20°C to +55°C ensures reliability from tropics to high latitudes. The included short-arm vane transducer arrives with ample cabling for straightforward mast installation, capturing wind from the best vantage point aloft. Surface or optional trunnion mounting options adapt to any console, and its rugged construction withstands vibrations and impacts.

Practical Tips for Peak Performance

• Masthead Maintenance: Periodically rinse the vane in fresh water to prevent salt buildup, ensuring smooth rotation and precise readings.
• Calibration Routine: Align the transducer during calm conditions for spot-on direction—most sailors do this at season's start.
• Alarm Setup: Customize alerts for high/low wind angles or speed thresholds to catch shifts before they catch you off guard.
• Network Expansion: Pair with a log transducer for true wind magic, unlocking advanced tactics without extra complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between apparent and true wind on the Raymarine i60?

Apparent wind is the flow felt by the boat, influenced by its speed. True wind is the actual breeze, computed using boat speed and heading data from compatible instruments. The i60 displays both for tactical sailing.

Can this wind display work with my existing Raymarine autopilot?

Yes, via SeaTalkng networking, it integrates seamlessly, sharing data for enhanced autopilot performance and true wind calculations.

How do I install the masthead transducer?

Mount it at the masthead facing forward, route the cable down the mast, and connect to the display. Calibrate in calm air for accuracy.

Is the i60 Wind suitable for powerboats?

Absolutely, while optimized for sailboats, it provides valuable wind data for fishing, cruising, and any power vessel navigating in breeze.

What data types does the LCD show?

Wind speed, Beaufort force, maximum gusts, VMG, and tack angles, all accessible via simple button presses.

Does it have alarms for wind changes?

Yes, configurable alarms alert for high/low apparent angles, low true speed, and max true speed thresholds.

How visible is it at night?

Red backlighting with adjustable dimming ensures excellent nighttime readability without glare.

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. Each i60 instrument can be configured as a Master display, hosting its own transducer, or as a Repeater display, showing information from another source on the network. i60 instruments are SeaTalkng network-ready and can be easily adapted to connect to NMEA2000 or older SeaTalk networks.
