Set a new standard for race-day wind data with the Garmin gWind Race Transducer. Designed specifically for racing sailboats, this high-performance sensor elevates the wind measurement well above the hull wake and sail wash, delivering precise True Wind Speed (TWS) and a stable True Wind Angle (TWA) when it matters most.

• 1-meter (3.3 ft) straight pole raises the transducer above the mast to eliminate turbulence errors and improve consistency in shifting breeze.
• Three-bladed propeller delivers accurate TWS in lighter air, maintaining efficiency where cups designs struggle.
• Twin-fin design enhances stability of TWA for faster, more reliable wind angle readings across a wide range of conditions.
• Optic reading technique provides superior low-wind performance with excellent linearity, giving you reliable data when it matters most.
• GND 10 black box bridges NMEA 2000 data to the Nexus Network and enables seamless integration with Garmin-compatible chartplotters and Nexus sail equipment—two-way data sharing for streamlined sailing tactics.
• Plug-and-play installation for easy setup between Nexus, Garmin chartplotters, and NMEA 2000, so you can get on the water quickly with confidence.

Rugged, race-ready design

Built to endure the demands of competitive sailing, the gWind Race is engineered for performance and reliability. A compact, weather-ready package ensures accurate readings from deck to mast, even in challenging conditions.
