Benefits of this system
Accurate and repeatable data is always important. Safety decisions such as whether to take out a reef while cruising need to be made with at least the same level of confi dence as calling a layline when racing – this system allows the skipper to make the right decisions, cruising or racing.
The H3000 Hydra CPU combined with high quality sensors, including a Vertical Masthead Unit, provide accurate data to the system, which is then displayed to the crew on a choice of displays. The large digit 20/20
HV displays mounted on the mast provide clear view of the key data, even with a cockpit full of crew or family.
The GFD display allows more complex data, such as graphical representations of wind trends or depth, to be viewed easily whilst the clarity of an Analogue display is often appreciated by less experienced members of the crew, particularly for Wind Angle.
The ACP Pilot provides a competent extra pair of hands when required.

Extra displays for larger yachts to give all crew access to relevant data
Halcyon Gyro-Stabilised Compass for better Pilot performance by using stabilised heading, heel and trim data
