Garmin GNX™ Wireless Sail Pack

Imagine slicing through choppy waters with precise wind readings at your fingertips, no tangled wires snaking up your mast. The Garmin GNX Wireless Sail Pack transforms how sailors like you monitor critical data, blending cutting-edge wireless tech with reliable transducers for unmatched accuracy on the water. Whether you’re tweaking sails for peak performance in a regatta or plotting a leisurely coastal cruise, this pack delivers the insights you crave without the hassle of complex setups.

Effortless Wireless Wind Monitoring

At the heart of this sail pack is the gWind Wireless 2 transducer, a game-changer for boats with masts up to 50 feet. Forget drilling holes or routing cables—its ANT wireless connection beams true and apparent wind speed and angle straight to your instruments or chartplotter. Drawing from proven Nexus twin-fin design and a responsive 3-bladed propeller, it shines in light breezes where others falter, giving you stable data for fine-tuned sail trim. Sailors report fewer false readings during gusts, helping maintain boat speed and course with confidence.

Crystal-Clear Displays for Day or Night Sailing

The GNX Wind instrument pairs perfectly with the transducer, boasting a high-contrast monochrome LCD that’s legible even in blinding sun or pitch-black nights. Customize backlight hues to match your cockpit vibe, and cycle through over 15 layouts showing wind roses, steering aids, boat speed, and nav data. Its sip-on-power profile— just 350mW daytime, 400mW at night—means it won’t drain your batteries on long passages. Bonus: Pair it wirelessly via ANT to a compatible Garmin smartwatch for wind updates on your wrist, freeing you to helm without glancing away.

Complementing this is the GNX 20 marine instrument, your go-to for water intel. Black digits pop against white or color backgrounds, with anti-glare coating for sharp views in any light. Switch between single, dual, triple functions, gauges, or graphs tailored to sail or power profiles. Track depth, speed-over-water (temp-compensated for accuracy), temperature, and 50+ NMEA 2000 parameters. Scalable digits up to 36mm ensure quick reads from across the deck.

Smart Depth and Speed Sensing Below the Hull

The DST800 thru-hull transducer rounds out the pack, feeding depth up to 330 feet, precise water speed, and temperature into your NMEA 2000 network. Its 100W power punches through murky waters better than basic sensors, while smart calibration adjusts for hull fouling or currents. For racers, this means optimized start lines and tactical depth awareness; cruisers get peace of mind dodging shallows. All components plug-and-play via NMEA 2000, so expanding to full Garmin suites like GPSMAP plotters is seamless.

Built for the Brutal Marine Environment

Rugged IPX7 water resistance on displays shrugs off spray and submersion, while the transducer’s IPX6 rating battles heavy seas. Operating from 5°F to 158°F, it’s ready for tropical trades or polar blasts. Low power draw and solar-rechargeable battery on the gWind keep it humming seasons-long. Compass-safe distances prevent interference, and flush or flat mounting options fit any binnacle or bulkhead.

Simple Setup, Pro-Level Results

Integration is a breeze: Drop the NMEA 2000 backbone with included T-connectors, terminators, and cables, mount the transducers, and calibrate via your displays. No mast-climbing required for wind data. Sailors upgrading from wired systems rave about the time saved and cleaner cockpits. It’s NMEA 2000 certified, playing nice with Raymarine, Simrad, and other networks too, future-proofing your boat.
