B&G Race Display

Enhance Your Racing Edge with Precision Data at a Glance

Imagine slicing through choppy waters during a critical race start, where every second counts. The B&G H5000 Race Display delivers exactly what competitive sailors need: crystal-clear, real-time insights without distraction. Its expansive 5-inch screen prioritizes the most vital metrics—like speed, wind shifts, and layline targets—updating up to 10 times per second for unmatched responsiveness. Skip the clutter of multi-function setups; this dedicated racer's tool uses a simple page key to flip between custom views, each spotlighting dual data fields alongside an intuitive bar graph that instantly flags trends, timer status, or performance thresholds.

Built for the Brutal Demands of Offshore Racing

Sailors know reliability trumps everything in high-stakes conditions. Engineered with no exposed metal components, this display shrugs off saltwater corrosion and relentless UV exposure. The optically bonded glass construction eliminates fogging, even in humid tropics or freezing gales, while boosting contrast for sharp readability from any angle. Whether you're grinding upwind in a fleet race or navigating solo offshore, its transflective LCD shines brilliantly under direct sun or pitches in low-light with minimal backlight draw—keeping your power budget lean for those long hauls.

Seamless Integration into Your Sailing Ecosystem

Drop it into an existing H5000 setup for autopilot-grade precision, or wire it effortlessly into NMEA 2000 networks alongside chartplotters, autopilots, and sensors from various brands. No complex configs needed: it pulls hyper-accurate data straight from the H5000 CPU, rendering it in sailor-friendly formats. Customize pages for your boat's specifics—polar targets for your J/111, start sequences for inshore regs, or tide-compensated VMG for coastal classics. At just 7 inches wide, 4.5 inches high, and 1.25 inches deep, it mounts flush where visibility matters most, like the mast base or companionway.

Key Advantages That Separate Winners from the Pack

• Lightning-Fast Updates: 10Hz refresh on critical data keeps you ahead of micro-shifts in wind or current.
• Trend-Spotting Bar Graph: Visual cues for laylines, start bias, or heel angle—no mental math required mid-maneuver.
• Ultra-Low Power Profile: Sips energy, ideal for battery-limited racers pushing 24/7 legs.
• Bulletproof Durability: Corrosion-proof, fog-free design thrives in spray, sun, and slams.
• Plug-and-Play Networking: NMEA 2000 backbone ensures harmony with your full instrument suite.

Real-World Tactics: How Top Teams Leverage It

Pro crews on TP52s and IMOCA 60s swear by tools like this for dialing in perfect starts. Picture the bar graph pulsing as you creep toward the line—green for ideal speed, red for over-early risks. Pair it with H5000 flux gates and Hydra sensors for wind data so precise, it uncovers hidden accelerations others miss. For cruisers moonlighting as racers, it simplifies big-boat data into glanceable essentials, freeing you to trim sails instead of squinting at spreadsheets.
