Master Sailing with Built-In Race-Proven Tools
SailSteer: Overlay wind angles, laylines, tides, and waypoints on a single customizable screen. Spot opportunities and threats instantly, reducing decision time during tacks and gybes.
Laylines: Visualize optimal tacking points accounting for wind shifts and currents. Reach your waypoint faster and more efficiently, especially upwind.
SailingTime: Get accurate ETAs for upwind legs by factoring in tacking distances, true wind speed, and leeway. Plan crew rotations or harbor arrivals with confidence.
RacePanel: Nail your start with synchronized countdowns, distance-to-line, and heading visuals. Tools once reserved for pro teams are now accessible to every skipper.
PredictWind Integration: Pull in professional-grade forecasts directly to your helm for route optimization and weather-aware routing.
These features aren’t just gimmicks—they’re battle-tested by elite racers and bluewater adventurers, helping you sail smarter, not harder.
Unmatched Visibility and Control in Any Conditions
The SolarMAX HD IPS screen shines through direct sunlight, polarized sunglasses, or driving rain. With 1200 nits of brightness and wide viewing angles (80° all around), helmsmates from any position get a crystal-clear view. Multi-touch gestures meet a rugged rotary dial and keypad, so gloved hands or wet fingers never slow you down.
Up to six split-screen panels let you monitor speed, wind, depth, AIS targets, and radar echoes simultaneously. Customize layouts for racing dashboards or cruising overviews—your boat, your rules.
Seamless Connectivity for a Fully Integrated Boat
Go beyond standalone charting with plug-and-play networking. Link to H5000 attitude sensors for precise instrument data, HALO radars for clutter-free target detection, or ForwardScan for safe anchoring in uncharted bays. NMEA 2000 and 0183 handle legacy gear, while built-in WiFi mirrors your display to tablets for crew briefings or remote monitoring from the cockpit.
Control onboard systems effortlessly: Command the autopilot for wind-based sailing modes, dim lights via CZone digital switching, or stream tunes through SonicHub. It’s a nervous system for your vessel, all managed from one helm station.
