New Alpha Series Performance Displays and Smart Wind Technology bring expert level decision support to leisure sailors and club racers.
Raymarine is making a bold addition into the performance sailing market with the launch of the Alpha™ Series display, new Smart Wind™ Technology, and performance sailing upgrades to the LightHouse operating system for Axiom chartplotters.
This powerful combination of electronic charting, next-generation precision wind monitoring, and touchscreen tactical displays elevates the awareness of skippers through intuitive, dynamic sailing displays on both the chartplotter and the remote Alpha Series display.
Offering a new level of sailing intelligence, thanks to Raymarine’s ground-breaking Smart Wind Technology and RSW Series wind sensors, the newly designed RSW Series Wind sensors are intelligent, self-calibrating sensors that deliver ultra-precise wind speed and direction measurements. Sailors can take advantage of advanced wind, speed, and polar calculations to make smarter race and performance sailing decisions when it matters most.
Alpha Series displays
Designed for helm or mast mounting, the Alpha Series of seven- and nine-inch, high-visibility tactical touchscreen instruments with a fully customisable dashboard and graphic displays is controlled and customised via touchscreen or remotely from a Raymarine Axiom chartplotter. The Alpha Series displays can be mounted in portrait or landscape and only require a single cable for data and power.
RSW Series wind sensors
The RSW Wind sensors and Smart Wind Technology is the culmination of Raymarine’s deep knowledge of precision wind measurement combined with a 3D motion sensor. The result is a self-calibrating, AHRS-enhanced wind sensor that adapts to its environment to deliver precision wind data, including ultra-accurate True Wind calculations.
Axiom with LightHouse OS Performance Sailing
Axiom with LightHouse 4.5 is the sailor’s chartplotter. Simply select Sailing Performance from the LightHouse start-up, and Axiom is transformed into a tactical sailing chartplotter with easy-to-use tools for layline overlays, preloaded performance polars, and complete remote control and integration with Alpha Series instruments and RSW Series wind sensors.
RAYMARINE AVIKUS PARTNERSHIP GAINS MOMENTUN
Raymarine has announced the growing momentum of its partnership with autonomous boat navigation provider Avikus, with several major boatbuilders having agreed to integrate Raymarine x Avikus NeuBoat Dock technology into their next model year.
Raymarine and Avikus will unveil NeuBoat Dock at the Cannes Yachting Festival, where several leading boatbuilder companies will offer in-water demonstrations at the International Boatbuilders Exhibition in Tampa, Florida.
NeuBoat Dock consists of an innovative six-camera system, which is based on Avikus’s advanced autonomous vessel technology. It provides a 360-degree bird’s-eye view of the vessel through an Axiom chartplotter to assist in tight-quarters maneouvring and docking.
The system is also easy for boatbuilders to incorporate, as calibration is simple and can be performed dockside by the OEM with the option of Raymarine’s team assisting remotely.
Raymarine and Avikus signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that outlined cooperation on the integration of the world’s first autonomous boating solution into Raymarine’s world-leading navigational products in 2022, followed by an Exclusivity Business Partnership Agreement (EPA) in 2023.
The two companies agreed to exclusively cooperate on development and launch of the world’s first autonomous leisure boat solution, as well as the development and launch of a full product family of autonomous leisure boat systems designed for different boat sizes, types and uses.
