Dedicated Sailing Features for cruising and racing
You can use Vulcan as a simple chartplotter as soon as you connect it to power, or for more advanced features, add to speed, depth and wind instruments. Let Vulcan take care of the complex calculations – leaving you free to relax and enjoy the sailing.
SailSteer
See all the data you need at a glance on one easy-to-read display with SailSteer. See crucial wind, speed, tide, heading, course over ground, layline and waypoint information, overlaid on one screen to ensure you have the information you need at your fingertips.
Laylines
Let Vulcan do the hard work: See your course and minimise your time spent beating with Laylines overlaid on your chart. See which way is best and ensure you tack in the right place to help you get to windward as efficiently as possible. Laylines even take into account tidal effects and wind shifts to plot the quickest course to the next waypoint.
SailingTime
Plan effectively with SailingTime and know how long it will take to get to a waypoint, even if it’s dead upwind. SailingTime calculates the time you’ll spend on each tack, taking into account wind and tidal effects, to give you an accurate ETA at your destination.
RacePanel
Be on the line when the gun goes with RacePanel. Enjoy easy-to-use features previously only enjoyed by Pro navigators to ensure you get the best start in the fleet, with time, distance and positioning information on a single clear display.
Easy to expand your network
Expand the functionality of your Vulcan by adding onboard instruments, radar and sonar.
Instruments
Add Vulcan to Triton2 instruments and sensors to enable Vulcan's advanced sailing features and share navigation information
ForwardScan
Navigate into shallow anchorages and poorly charted areas with ease and know what lies ahead with confidence by adding a ForwardScan transducer, for a real-time two-dimensional view of the seabed in front of your boat.
SonicHub
Take control of your music and entertainment from your Vulcan display by adding a SonicHub2. With integrated Bluetooth, stream music from your smartphone or tablet, or listen to music on a USB drive or AM/FM radio.
Radar
Add our award-winning Broadband Radar to guide you through crowded harbours, poor visibility and across busy shipping lanes, or to keep an eye on distant weather and rain when sailing offshore.
