B&G 213 MHU Pack Wind Sensor Masthead Unit Pack

Upgrade your sailboat's wind sensing capabilities with the B&G 213 MHU Pack, a battle-tested masthead unit designed for sailors who demand precision from coastal hops to offshore adventures. This pack delivers reliable apparent wind speed and angle data, helping you trim sails perfectly and make split-second tactical decisions on the water.

Engineered for the Toughest Conditions

Crafted with a rugged, sealed electronic housing and conductive plastic components, the 213 MHU withstands harsh marine environments. Its IP66 rating ensures it shrugs off heavy rain, spray, and salt corrosion, while the 530mm spar length positions sensors optimally above turbulent airflow from sails and rigging. Sailors rave about its durability—it's powered through grueling races and long voyages without skipping a beat.

Standout Performance Features

• Superior Accuracy: Three-cup anemometer captures wind speeds from gentle breezes to gale-force gusts with minimal friction for responsive readings.
• Smooth Vane Response: Low-friction design tracks rapid wind shifts, giving you an edge in tacking duels or spinnaker sets.
• Field-Serviceable Design: Swap out bearings or rebuild components on the go—no need for specialized tools or downtime in a shipyard.
• Proven Track Record: Trusted by professional crews in high-stakes events, from Vendée Globe prep to club racing circuits.

Seamless Integration and Setup

This complete pack simplifies installation on masts up to 24 meters tall, thanks to thoughtfully included cabling. Connect it effortlessly to B&G chartplotters, NAC processors, or Triton displays for real-time wind overlays, true wind calculations, and layline guidance. The junction box streamlines wiring, reducing clutter and potential failure points aloft.

Pro tip for installers: Mount the unit 0.5-1 meter above the masthead to avoid disturbed air, and calibrate via your B&G network for spot-on performance. It's compatible with NMEA 0183 and proprietary protocols, so it plays nice with modern sailing electronics suites.

Long-Term Reliability and Maintenance

Unlike disposable sensors, the 213 MHU is built to last. Regular freshwater rinses after salty outings keep it humming, and user-replaceable parts mean you stay sailing instead of shopping. Expect years of service with proper care, backed by B&G's reputation for marine-grade toughness.

Why Sailors Swear by the B&G 213 MHU Pack

In a sea of wind sensors, this pack stands out for its blend of analog simplicity and digital precision. Cruisers appreciate the no-fuss reliability, while racers love the data edge it provides. Whether optimizing VMG on a downwind leg or ghosting up a foggy river, accurate wind info translates to faster passages and safer maneuvers.
