PASSION FOR PRECISION

Hercules® is designed to sit at the heart of an advanced sailing system. With an ultra-fast processor and maximised integration options, Hercules delivers an expanded suite of sailing data to B&G Nemesis™ displays, Vulcan™ or Zeus® Chartplotters. Data can be accessed via the B&G App or the all-new web interface, allowing recordings to be uploaded to the cloud, where it can be viewed, analysed, replayed and shared.

Enhanced Accuracy

 

Hercules is engineered for precision. Greater accuracy comes from advanced calculation options and calibration for true wind, with advanced heel and motion correction* improving boat speed calibration. Advanced Polar Tables and Target performance data help users achieve optimal performance and navigation. And racers get the upper hand with intelligent StartLine calculation.
