Technical Specifications
20 metre 3 wire extension cable to suit the Clipper, Target and Cruiser V2 Wind mast head units. Fitted with 3 way wire trap terminal block.
A high performance instrument system that shows almost instantaneous changes of wind speed and direction.
In demanding conditions, where high performance is essential, the Clipper Tactical wind system is the ideal choice. With ten updates every second it responds very quickly to the changes in wind speed and direction, which occur during tricky manoeuvres. The sensor is supplied complete with a mast mounting kit, 20 metres of light weight cable and all necessary electrical connectors to complete the installation. The output data is in the NMEA 0183 format and can be used to drive any compatible display that utilises the MWV sentence.
The Clipper Wind system shares the same 110mm square case as its sister instruments in the Clipper range. the display is exceptionally large and clear, with 60 segments for full 360 degree direction indication. Windspeed is shown in knots, M.P.H. or Metres/second. The pointer style is selectable, from the single segment shown above, to multi segments for greater clarity or a ‘windex’ style indicator. The masthead unit directly outputs NMEA 0183 output sentence MWV and is supplied with 20 metres of cable.
Clipper Wind system is supplied complete with Display unit, masthead unit with cable and mounting blocks.
The Clipper wireless wind is supplied with a wireless masthead transmitter, a base unit and a Clipper True Wind display unit. The wireless masthead transmitter is powered by an internal battery which is charged from ambient light using a small solar panel. A few dull days will not affect performance. When fully charged, it is capable of two thousand hours of full operation in total darkness. The masthead transmitter sends data wirelessly to the base unit, which is powered by the vessel’s 12 Volt supply, the base unit receives wind speed and direction data from the masthead transmitter and sends it to the display.
The Clipper True Wind display is in the industry standard 110mm square case. Exceptionally large and clear display with 60 segments for full 360 degree direction indication. The display shows apparent wind speed and direction and, when connected to a log or GPS, it can also show true wind speed and direction.
Now available – NASA Marine are delighted to announce the introduction of the new NASA Marine NMEA 2000 compliant wind system.
The product consists of our version 2 mast head sensor and a small translator box, the box is fitted with a ‘micro-c’ connector which plugs directly into an existing NMEA 2000 network.
NMEA 2000 Compliant Wind system is supplied complete with masthead unit, 20 metres of cable, mast head unit mounting hardware and the translator box with Micro C connector cable.
Available now.

The product consists of a translator box which inputs the NMEA 0183 wind data sentence MWV. It translates the 0183 data into NMEA 2000 compliant wind data for connection via a ‘micro-c’ connector directly into an existing NMEA 2000 network.
The Cruiser wireless wind is supplied with a wireless masthead transmitter, a base unit and a Cruiser Wind display unit. The wireless masthead transmitter is powered by an internal battery which is charged from ambient light using a small solar panel. A few dull days will not affect performance. When fully charged, it is capable of two thousand hours of full operation in total darkness. The masthead transmitter sends data wirelessly to the base unit, which is powered by the vessel’s 12 Volt supply, the base unit receives wind speed and direction data from the masthead transmitter and sends it to the Cruiser Wind display or any other compatible NMEA display unit.
The Cruiser Wind display measures 132 x 98 x 29mm. It has an exceptionally large and clear display with 60 segments for full 360 degree direction indication.
All instruments in the Target Range come complete with sensors or transducers as appropriate and all necessary fittings. They are designed to run on 12v supply, but due to the very low power consumption there is no reason why they cannot run off dry batteries. They provides accurate readings for owners of sailing craft and powerboats alike.
Designed for long term maintenance-free performance, the Target Wind Speed and Direction instrument is robust in manufacture and simple in operation. Initial set-up aligns the boats head with the wind indicator, so the masthead unit can be mounted in any convenient location and is not bound to fore-aft mounting.
