The Garmin gWind™ Race Transducer (Part Number 010-01228-00) is a specialized, high-precision wind measurement sensor engineered specifically for racing sailboats and performance mariners who require precise wind telemetry. Featuring a 1-meter (3.3-foot) straight pole mount, it elevates the transducer head above the masthead to minimize air turbulence and boundary-layer distortion caused by the sail plan. The unit incorporates twin-vane technology with a 3-bladed propeller to deliver exceptional accuracy for Apparent Wind Angle (AWA) and Apparent Wind Speed (AWS), maintaining reliable tracking even in extremely light air conditions.
Housed in a ruggedized, IPX6/IPX7 waterproof assembly designed to withstand severe offshore conditions, the gWind™ Race interfaces via a wired connection directly to a Garmin GND™ 10 black box bridge. This integration translates Nexus network data onto the NMEA 2000® backbone, allowing seamless data distribution across GNX™ displays, GMI™ instruments, and GPSMAP® chartplotters. By providing precise, high-frequency wind metrics directly to onboard navigation systems, the transducer enhances SailAssist™ calculations, polar performance monitoring, and tactical racing decisions.
