Detailed description

The CYCLOPS Smartbatten T1 is a wireless load sensor designed to precisely measure compressive load on sail battens. Launched in 2023, this system provides real-time data essential for tuning and optimizing sail shape on performance and racing yachts.

Load measurement and accuracy

This sensor is specifically designed for compressive loads up to 100 kg for size 1. It is factory-calibrated and guarantees an accuracy of ±1% of its maximum working load (MWL) within a temperature range of -10 to +40℃. The Smartbatten T1 enables sailors to achieve and reproduce fast, precise sail settings.

Design and battery life

Weighing just 22g for the sensor and a net system weight of about 44g (including sensor, adapter, and compression block), the Smartbatten T1 is made of titanium (Ti6Al4V) for size 1, with a PC/ABS housing ensuring lightweight construction. It features a 0.925Wh lithium polymer battery providing 80 days of battery life in normal use (1Hz) and up to 500 days in sleep mode ("napping mode"). Wireless charging takes less than one hour.

Connectivity and integration

The Smartbatten T1 uses wireless technology to relay load data. It can connect directly to a smartphone via the Cyclops Smartfittings Manager app (available on iOS and Android), enabling live load visualization, session recording, and post-race analysis. For integration with onboard instruments, the sensor can connect via a Cyclops gateway (sold separately), offering NMEA2000, NMEA0183, NKE, UDP, and MQTT outputs, and supporting up to 50 sensors.

Installation and maintenance

The Smartbatten T1 system is designed for "Plug and Play" installation in C-Tech CT22 battens, with other adapter sizes available. Installation requires shortening the batten to accommodate the sensing unit. Maintenance is limited to wireless recharging of the sensor using the supplied charger. The sensor has three operating modes: on (1Hz), extended use (0.25Hz for battery conservation), and off.

Expert opinion

« Real-time batten load analysis: expert review »

The CYCLOPS Smartbatten T1 represents a significant advancement for sail performance optimization, particularly for regattas and performance cruising. Its main function is to provide compressive load data directly from the sail battens, a parameter often difficult to quantify accurately in real time. This capability allows sailors to fine-tune sail shape and replicate optimal settings based on wind and sea conditions.

From an installation perspective, the system is designed for simplified integration, especially with C-Tech CT22 battens. While marketed as "Plug and Play," it is important to note that installation requires physical adjustment of the batten, which involves some preparation. Wireless connectivity with the Cyclops Smartfittings Manager app provides an intuitive interface for data visualization and analysis, while the NMEA gateway option enables full integration with existing onboard electronic systems, making the data accessible on multifunction displays.

The Smartbatten T1’s differentiation lies in its specialization in battens, complementing Cyclops’s range of load sensors for standing and running rigging. Its lightweight titanium design minimizes impact on sail performance, a major advantage in light-wind conditions. It is critical to respect the maximum working load to avoid damaging the internal instrumentation; an overload of 150% can cause permanent damage and require recalibration. This sensor is therefore aimed at demanding sailors seeking to exploit every setting to maximize their sailboat’s performance.
