Tacktick T033 Eco Wind System

Complete system including Tacktick T031 analog wireless dispay and wind transducer T120.

In earlier systems, data acquired by the transducers is sent via cable to displays that are linked by cable. Power, too, arrives by wire from the onboard battery bank.

Now consider Tacktick's Micronet solution

The transmitters and transducers send data to the displays by wireless link. The Wind Transmitter and all the displays take their power from a lithium cell charged by built-in solar panel. The absence of wiring makes for:

ease, speed and low cost of installation

weight-saving where it counts

banishment of mast-removal complications

freedom from cable-chafe by halyards

The Display, too, is independent of wiring. So:

it can be located where you want

you can change its location at any time

you can take it below to read it there

it has no water-sensitive cable joints

Micronet communications are as fast as, if not faster than wired networks
There's no need to buy multiple displays, because one on its own can show a wide variety of information. But if you want data displayed at different locations simultaneously, that's just as easy. Each display communicates by wireless with all the others.

Tacktick's Micronet system is the result of the latest technology. But that doesn't mean it's untried. In the 2000 Sydney Olympics every class that could use Tacktick did so, and the winning medallists relied on it. It's the same story in the America's Cup, where Tacktick is vital equipment. Micronet has been evolving since 1996 from Tacktick's award-winning instruments for racing dinghies and sports boats. In that environment electronics have to be waterproof, lightweight, visible, cable-free, independent of batteries, accurate, rugged and responsive.

The brand new T033 wind system is the ideal solution for cruising yachts 35ft or under. Wind speed and direction information is delivered wirelessly from the wind transmitter, whilst the display itself is powered by your boat's 12-volt battery.

The system comes with an accurate, and highly responsive wind transmitter sends data from the top of your mast wirelessly to any display.

It is completely wireless and solar powered so no wires down the mast and totally self-powering.
