Vertical Masthead Units

  • Better wind information on which to base your race winning decisions inshore and offshore
  • Improves steer-to-wind performance on Pilot due to reduced turbulence around sensor
  • High-Modulus carbon spar for lightweight strength
  • Design proven over several million offshore miles
  • Ocean specification available for increased strength and durability in extreme applications

The Vertical Masthead unit utilises the proven sensing componentry from the standard 213 Masthead Unit combined with a vertical spar to elevate the wind sensor clear of the most disturbed air flow around the top of the sails, minimising errors and allowing more accurate calibration.
