B&G WS310 Wind Pack Wired Product Description
Upgrade your sailing setup with the precision-engineered B&G WS310 Wind Pack Wired, the go-to choice for cruisers and club racers who demand reliable wind data without the hassle of wireless interference. This wired wind sensor delivers razor-sharp readings on wind speed and direction, empowering smarter decisions on the water—whether you're trimming sails for peak performance or fine-tuning your autopilot course.
Complete Kit for Seamless Integration
Everything you need arrives in one robust package, tailored for straightforward deck-top installation on yachts of all sizes:
- Wired wind sensor with aerodynamic cups and vane for minimal drag
- Mounting bracket for secure mast attachment
- 20-meter mast cable to reach your nav station effortlessly
- Network interface for NMEA 2000 compatibility
- Micro-C T-joiner for easy network expansion
- Full fixings kit to handle any mounting scenario
No more guesswork—connect directly to your existing instruments or expand your NMEA 2000 backbone for a unified system that talks to chartplotters, multifunction displays, and autopilots.
Engineered for Real-World Sailing Demands
Crafted through over 500 wind tunnel tests, the WS310 stands out by providing data you can trust in choppy seas, high winds, or dead calms. Its low-profile design slices through air with less turbulence, ensuring your instruments reflect true apparent and true wind angles across all points of sail and heel angles.
Pinpoint Accuracy
Experience wind speed resolution down to 0.05 m/sec and angle precision of 0.1°, with accuracy holding steady at ±0.5° for direction and ±0.1 m/sec for speed. This level of detail translates to optimized sail trim, faster tacks, and autopilot responses that hug the wind like a pro.
Battle-Tested Durability
Rated IPX6 and IPX7 waterproof, it thrives from -25°C to +65°C, sipping just 15 mA at 12V. Salt spray, pounding rain, or scorching sun? The WS310 keeps delivering 10Hz NMEA 0183 MWV updates without flinching, backed by thousands of hours of on-water validation.
Effortless Compatibility and Setup
Plug-and-play with NMEA 0183 outputs or bridge to NMEA 2000 via the included interface—perfect for B&G Triton, Zeus, or Vulcan series. Single-cable runs up to 80 meters simplify retrofits, letting you focus on sailing, not wiring diagrams.
