Detailed description

B&G VMHU 1050mm Vertical Anemometer: Uncompromising precision and reliability

The B&G VMHU 1050mm vertical anemometer is a high-performance wind sensor specifically designed for sailors and racers who demand the highest accuracy in their navigation data. Its 1050mm vertical design allows the sensor to be positioned in undisturbed airflow, well above the turbulence generated by the mainsail, thus ensuring exceptionally reliable wind speed and angle measurements.

Optimized design for performance

The main advantage of this model lies in its "mast cable-free" design. This innovative feature eliminates the weight and drag of a cable running along the mast, a crucial benefit for optimizing the performance of a racing sailboat. By reducing weight aloft, pitching is decreased and the boat's overall stability is improved, resulting in greater speed and efficiency on the water.

Simplified installation and seamless integration

The absence of a mast cable greatly simplifies installation and maintenance, eliminating the complex and often tedious routing of cables inside the mast. The VMHU 1050mm is designed to integrate seamlessly with B&G navigation systems, including the H5000 processors and Triton² displays, providing critical data for true wind (TWS and TWA) calculations and autopilot performance optimization. It's the preferred choice for racing yachts and fast cruisers seeking the ultimate competitive edge.

Expert opinion

« The benchmark for undisturbed wind data at the masthead »

The B&G VMHU 1050mm wind sensor is a key component for any performance-oriented navigation system. Its 1050mm vertical boom is not just an aesthetic detail; it is strategically designed to position the sensors above the mainsail's turbulent airflow zone, thus ensuring pure and stable wind data acquisition. The major advantage of this model is its mastless cable design, which not only significantly reduces weight at the masthead – a critical factor in racing – but also eliminates a potential source of failures and maintenance. It is the sensor of choice for integration with an H5000 processor, where the quality of input data is paramount for the accuracy of speed polars and performance calculations.
