Clipper Close Haul Repeater

The Clipper Close Haul Repeater is a marine wind display repeater unit designed to extend wind data visibility across your vessel's helm. This wind speed and direction repeater connects directly to your master wind instrument, displaying high-resolution wind direction data essential for close-hauled sailing and downwind running. Complete with a 5-meter cable, weather cover, and securing ring, the Close Haul Repeater delivers reliable wind instrumentation in demanding saltwater environments.

Key specifications include a 110 × 110 mm display case with 30 mm depth behind panel, allowing flexible mounting options at your primary steering station. The unit draws only 10 mA in standby (25 mA maximum with full display illumination), making it efficient for extended cruising without draining house batteries. Seven levels of backlight intensity accommodate night sailing and varying light conditions, while the sealed weather cover protects the display from spray and UV exposure. Power consumption remains low enough to integrate seamlessly into most 12V marine electrical systems.

Cruising sailors and racing crews benefit from repeater wind displays positioned where helmsman and crew can reference true and apparent wind simultaneously. The Close Haul Repeater is particularly valuable on larger sailboats where the primary wind instrument sits mast-mounted or forward of the wheelhouse, leaving crew aft without direct sight lines to critical wind angle data. Shallow mounting depth accommodates tight panel spaces typical on modern production sailboats and custom racing yachts.

Clipper wind instrumentation is widely recognized in the sailing community for reliable performance in offshore conditions. The Close Haul Repeater integrates with existing Clipper anemometer and wind vane systems, requiring only the main unit and provided cabling for installation. Verify compatibility with your current wind instrument before ordering.
