Wind on every screen on board.
OpenWind sits on your masthead, charges from the sun and streams wind, heading, heel and pitch by Bluetooth to your phone, watch, DisplayKit and NMEA 2000 network. No cable down the mast.
7 boats sail around the world with OpenWind
Seven skippers in the solo, non-stop race around the world carry OpenWind on their masthead. Months alone at sea, with no shore power and no service stop.
One sensor. Every display you already have.
OpenWind measures apparent wind angle and speed, compass heading, heel and pitch. Your phone adds GPS, and the app works out true wind, VMG, course and speed over ground.
Mount it
Masthead mount, rail mount or carbon supporter. Point it to the bow and tighten two screws.
Open the app
OpenWind appears under Devices. Tap it once, and every screen on board starts showing wind.
Sail
The sun keeps it charged. Add a DisplayKit for the cockpit or an NMEAkit for your plotter whenever you like.
Build your wind system
Start with the sensor. Every add-on connects to it by Bluetooth, so you can grow the system one piece at a time.
OpenWind + DisplayKit
The full cockpit setup: the solar wind sensor and a sunlight-readable display with track recorder, waypoints and backlight for night sailing.
- Save €61 against buying both
- Works with the app, watch and NMEAkit too
OpenWind
Solar wind sensor with compass, heel and pitch. Streams to phones, tablets and watches.
DisplayKit
Wireless display for the cockpit. Records your track for up to 39 hours.
NMEAkit
Puts OpenWind data on your NMEA 2000 network, so your plotter shows wind.
NMEAString
Measures the mast angle and corrects the wind reading on rotating masts.
One app for all your OpenWind devices
OpenWind, NMEAkit and DisplayKit now live in one app. Connect them all at once. If one drops out, the app switches to the next source by itself.
- Instruments with large 7-segment numbers you can read from the helm
- Map with free depth charts, laylines and a regatta start line
- Devices for calibration, firmware updates and the rotating mast
- Watch app, Live Activity and 9 languages
When the mast turns, the wind angle stays right
On a rotating mast the sensor turns with the mast, so on its own it would report the wind angle against the mast, not the boat. NMEAString measures the mast angle and sends it to OpenWind. OpenWind adds it back and broadcasts the correct wind angle to every display on board. Drag the slider or watch it run. Already have instruments on NMEA 2000? They show the corrected wind too.
A cockpit display that also remembers the race
Readable in full sun, backlit at night in any colour. DisplayKit records your track for up to 39 hours. Back ashore, open it on the map in the app and export GPX.
- Up to 6 waypoints with distance and bearing
- Portrait or landscape, 3 dashboards with 4 values each
- Firmware updates over the air from the app
