Raymarine Z195 Rotovector Masthead

The Raymarine Z195 Rotovector Masthead is a precision wind and heading sensor designed for serious cruisers and racing sailors who demand real-time weather data aloft. Mounted at the top of your mast, this rotovector unit captures true wind speed and direction independently of boat heading, providing the clean, unfiltered data your navigation and autopilot systems rely on. Accurate masthead instrumentation is essential for confident decision-making on the water.

The Z195 integrates directly with Raymarine's SeaTalk and networked display ecosystems, translating wind vectors and compass heading into tactical wind angles displayed on your helm station or chartplotter. Its compact, lightweight form factor minimizes wind resistance aloft while withstanding the corrosive marine environment. Signal transmission flows through standard marine cabling, simplifying retrofit installation on existing Raymarine systems.

Cruisers benefit most when upgrading from basic wind vanes, gaining autopilot-compatible true-wind data that automatically compensates for boat motion and heel. Racing crews use the Z195 to optimize sail trim and detect pressure patterns minutes before rivals. This sensor is ideal for enhancing performance in both cruising and competitive sailing environments.
