Clipper Wireless Wind System Complete w/Display

The Clipper Wireless Wind System Complete w/Display is a masthead wind instrument designed for serious cruising sailors and power boaters who demand reliable, real-time weather data without the clutter of hardwired cable runs. After decades on the water, any experienced captain knows that accurate wind speed and direction readings are foundational to safe navigation and efficient sail trim. This wireless system eliminates the traditional limitations of conventional wind instruments by transmitting data from aloft directly to your helm display, giving you the freedom to position your instruments anywhere on your vessel.

The system operates on a completely wireless architecture, with a masthead transmitter that captures true wind speed and direction and relays that data to a base unit powered by your vessel's 12V electrical system. Once received, the base unit processes this information and broadcasts it to any compatible NMEA display unit via standard marine network protocols. This architecture eliminates expensive and time-consuming mast wiring, reduces installation complexity, and provides the flexibility to upgrade or relocate your display without re-running cables through the mast and cabin. The compact design and modest 3.85-pound weight ensure minimal windage aloft and straightforward mounting on most mast configurations.

Cruising sailors, racing competitors, and commercial operators benefit most from this wireless architecture, particularly those retrofitting older vessels or upgrading from analog instruments. The Clipper Wireless Wind System integrates seamlessly with existing NMEA-compatible chart plotters, multifunction displays, and autopilot systems found aboard modern sailboats and motor yachts. Installation requires only a secure masthead mounting point and a 12V power source at the base unit—no specialized marine electrician required. Whether you're planning an offshore passage or managing daily bay cruising, this system delivers the wind intelligence you need without the installation headaches of traditional wired systems.
