B&G (Brookes & Gatehouse): Performance marine electronics for racing and cruising

B&G, or Brookes & Gatehouse, is synonymous with excellence in marine electronics, particularly for demanding sailors, whether they are racing or cruising offshore. At Skysat, drawing on our experience in offshore racing, we understand the crucial importance of a reliable and high-performance electronic system. This section guides you through B&G products, focusing on their integration and performance in real-world conditions.

instruments and displays

B&G instruments and displays are designed to provide accurate and readable data, essential for onboard decision-making. From simple multifunction displays to high-resolution touchscreens, B&G offers a comprehensive range to meet every need. Integration with the rest of the system is paramount for optimal performance.

• Triton² : Intuitive multifunction display, NMEA 2000 compatible, ideal for basic information (depth, speed, wind).
• Nemesis™ : Customizable display, offering maximum flexibility to display the most relevant data for your navigation style.
• Wind sensors : High-precision wind sensors, available in wired and wireless versions, crucial for reliable information on apparent and actual wind.
• Interface modules : Interface modules to connect sensors and displays, ensuring smooth data communication within the NMEA 2000 network.

autopilots

A B&G autopilot is much more than just a steering assistant. It's a central component of the navigation system, capable of maintaining a precise course and optimizing the boat's performance according to the conditions. The choice of autopilot should be tailored to the size and type of boat, as well as its intended use.

• NAC-3 : High-performance autopilot computer, compatible with B&G wind sensors and compasses, for precise and efficient navigation.
• Power cylinder: Hydraulic or electric power cylinders, adapted to different boat sizes, ensuring a quick and precise response to pilot commands.
• Pilot controls : Wired or wireless pilot controls, allowing remote control of the pilot, for greater flexibility on board.
• Rudder angle sensor: Essential for optimal autopilot operation, the rudder angle sensor allows the pilot to know the position of the rudder.

maps and probes

B&G charts and sonar, combined with the brand's multifunction displays, offer precise mapping and reliable seabed detection. Compatibility with Navionics and C-MAP charts ensures access to the latest and most comprehensive information. Integration with the rest of the system is essential for safe and efficient navigation.

• Zeus³S chart plotter : High-performance multifunction touchscreen, compatible with Navionics and C-MAP charts, offering intuitive and precise navigation.
• Broadband 4G™ Radar : Broadband radar offering accurate target detection, even at short range, ideal for navigation in fog or at night.
• ForwardScan® Probe: Forward-pointing probe, enabling the detection of underwater obstacles before reaching them, a major asset for safety.
• StructureScan® 3D: 3D imaging technology of the seabed, offering a detailed visualization of underwater structures, ideal for fishing or shipwreck research.

💡 Skysat's advice

Before investing in a B&G system, carefully assess your needs and budget. A well-integrated system, even a modest one, will always outperform a collection of poorly configured high-end components. Feel free to contact us for personalized advice and installation assistance.
