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.
