Tacktick by Suunto - Wireless, Solar-Powered Instruments for Your Boats

Wire never goes well with water, but the sun does. This is why wireless, solar-powered navigational instruments are the best for your boats and yachts. Tacktick, the world leader in wireless marine electronics offers a wide range of instruments that uses Micronet technology, which enables each unit to run solely by solar power.

Their high-precision products are made for cruising, racing, keel and sports boats, and dinghies. For cruising, their line range from the basic Entry Level Wireless Wind System to the all-in-one Speed Wind Depth NMEA System. The Entry Level Wind system is recommended for yachts 35ft or under. Your boat's battery will power the display, but the wind speed and direction information is delivered by the wind transmitter that sends data from the top of your mast wirelessly. Absolutely self-powering and no wires will be trailing down the mast. The Speed Wind Depth NMEA System includes both analogue and dual digital displays, an NMEA interface for linking to other systems, wind transmitter, depth transducer, hull transmitter, speed and depth transducer.

If you are a racing enthusiast, the Race Master System by will provide you easily with the essential data including compass heading, boat speed, depth, wind shift indicator, line bias and race timer. It is submersible to 10 meters, shock resistant and lightweight. It can be customized to add wind and GPS information.

Another recommended Tacktick instrument is the Remote Display & Control. While it can function as a remote control for your Micronet displays, it is also an independent, wireless, palm-sized display for all the data in your system. Great for your racing team, since you can add as many handsets as you need for crew members.

The brand also offers the Micro Compass, which would also be great for racing, especially on dinghies and other similar sports boats. It gives all critical information including small wind shifts that you need to win the race. Sailors love the Micro Compass, because its tactical scale gives you clear stable figures corresponding on port and starboard tack.

Wiring failures have been a frequent problem in marine vehicles for a long time. This innovator of wireless solar-powered marine technology has made a huge difference in marine industry and sports. About two years ago, it joined forces with another big name in the field, Suunto, which is a leading manufacturer of marine compasses and sports precision instruments. With this team-up, you should, indeed, brace yourself for more exciting marine gear soon.
