Garmin gWind™ Race Transducer - Masthead Only

The Garmin gWind™ Race Transducer – Masthead Only is designed for serious sailors and competitive racers who require real-time wind data. Mounted at the masthead, this transducer provides precise measurements of true wind speed and direction, essential for tactical racing and optimizing sail trim. Whether participating in one-design classes or cruising offshore, accurate wind information is crucial for performance.

Constructed with marine-grade materials, the gWind™ Race Transducer features advanced anemometer technology that eliminates dead spots and ensures consistent readings across all wind angles. With a height of 47 inches and a lightweight design of 3.3 pounds, it minimizes topside weight while maintaining signal integrity. The unit is built to withstand saltwater environments, making it ideal for marine applications.

This masthead-only configuration is perfect for skippers looking to upgrade their existing systems or create custom instrumentation setups. Proper installation requires secure mounting at the mast-top and careful routing of wiring to prevent windage and chafe. Most boat yards experienced with Garmin systems can complete the setup efficiently, ensuring that sailors can benefit from real-time wind data during their races.
