Imagine slicing through choppy waters during a coastal regatta, your decisions fueled by razor-sharp data on wind shifts, boat speed, and depth changes. The GNX Wired Sail Pack 52 equips serious sailors with a complete wired system that delivers exactly that—reliable, real-time intelligence straight from the elements. This pack bundles high-performance instruments and transducers designed for the demands of competitive and long-distance sailing, where marginal gains in accuracy can mean victory or defeat.
Unlike basic setups, this system integrates seamlessly via NMEA 2000, pulling data from multiple sensors to paint a full picture of conditions. Sailors report noticeable improvements in trim adjustments and tactical routing, thanks to the stable readings even in gusty or light airs.
At the heart of wind monitoring, the GNX Wind instrument boasts a high-contrast monochrome LCD that's legible from across the cockpit, day or night. Customize it to show true and apparent wind angles, speed overlays, and even steering cues. Its ultra-low power draw—under 400mW—ensures it won't drain your batteries during overnight passages. Pair it with compatible wearables via ANT for wrist-based glances, keeping your focus on the helm.
The gWind transducer stands out with its innovative 3-bladed propeller and twin-fin setup, optimized for true wind speed and angle readings down to whisper-light winds. Traditional cup anemometers falter here, but this optic-equipped unit maintains linearity and stability, reducing errors during tacks or in confused seas. Mount it high on the mast for unobstructed data that informs your sail changes precisely.
Complementing the wind gear, the GNX 20 handles boat speed through water, depth up to 330 feet, and temperature with oversized, scalable digits up to 36mm. The glass-bonded, anti-glare display thrives in harsh sunlight or spray, displaying over 50 parameters. It's the go-to for quick checks on set and drift or layering speed with wind for velocity made good (VMG) calculations.
This multisensor powerhouse mounts flush thru-hull, capturing depth, speed, temp, and crucially, heel/trim and pitch/roll attitudes at 5Hz refresh rates. That attitude data refines your polar diagrams and upwind performance metrics. Bluetooth pairing simplifies calibration via mobile apps, accounting for multiple heel angles—ideal for racers pushing boats flat.
In the world of performance sailing, data is your edge. This pack shines in scenarios like offshore races where wind shear demands constant awareness, or club fleets optimizing starts. The NMEA 2000 backbone connects effortlessly to Garmin plotters, Nexus networks, or USB for logging—plug-and-play simplicity without endless wiring hassles. IPX6/IPX7 waterproofing shrugs off green water, and the 5-158°F range handles tropical trades to polar expeditions.
Real-world tip: Leverage the DST810's attitude sensing to auto-correct speed logs for leeway, turning raw data into actionable boat speed over ground. Competitive sailors often credit these instruments for shaving minutes off courses by nailing laylines early.
Getting underway is straightforward with included 25m mast cable, T-connectors, terminators, and the GND 10 black box bridge for network compatibility. Surface-mount the displays flush for a clean cockpit, secure the gWind bracket aloft, and bed the DST810 thru-hull with marine sealant. Nexus-compatible connectors make field swaps easy. Test the full loop on NMEA 2000 before your first outing—calibrate transducers in calm conditions for baseline accuracy.
Everything you need for a wired, robust setup tailored to sailboats.
Its 3-bladed propeller and optic sensing deliver precise true wind speed readings in low winds, outperforming cup-style units that spin erratically below 5 knots.
Yes, the NMEA 2000 compatibility ensures plug-and-play connection to Garmin plotters, sharing wind, speed, and depth data across your network.
By providing heel/trim and pitch/roll data, it enables precise speed corrections and polar optimizations, crucial for upwind legs and tacking angles.
Absolutely—IPX6/IPX7 ratings and wide temperature tolerance handle heavy weather, with stable transducers minimizing fouling or drag impacts.
It operates on 9-16V DC with low consumption, ideal for sailboats relying on solar or small house banks without excessive drain.
Fully configurable with user profiles for layouts, backlight colors, and over 15 parameters like VMG, laylines, and wind shifts.
The DST810 connects via Bluetooth to apps for easy speed and depth calibration at various angles and speeds.

The Information You Need to Make Confident Decisions
Know the Wind and Water
With a GNX Wind Wired Sail Pack, you will have all the equipment you need to know what’s going on with the wind and the water.
GNX Wind Marine Instrument
GNX Wind gives you the wind data necessary to make confident decisions. Features high-visibility, glass-bonded backlit monochrome LCD display with customizable backlight colors. It also interfaces through the NMEA 2000 network to show 2 data fields and a digital wind rose simultaneously to display true and apparent wind data, steering guidance, boat speed and more. Low power consumption of 350 mW daylight (no backlight) and 400 mW nighttime (mid-level backlight) is perfect for sailboats. Fully customizable user profiles allow you to configure the screen layout to your preferred setting. Display configurations include more than 15 important marine parameters for wind, speed and navigation. It can even wirelessly connect to a quatix® 3 GPS marine smartwatch via ANT technology to stream wind data directly to your wrist.
gWind Wired Transducer
gWind transducer features twin-fin technology with 3-bladed propeller for more accurate True Wind Speed (TWS) in lighter air while the twin-fin design gives a more stable True Wind Angle (TWA). The 3-bladed propeller, unlike a cups design, is always efficient. Combined with optic reading, this transducer provides superior accuracy at low wind speeds and also provides for excellent linearity.
GNX 20 Marine Instrument
The easy-to-read GNX 20 marine instrument display with black digits on a white or color background clearly shows water depth, boat speed through the water, water temperature and 50-plus marine and boat parameters. Its glass-bonded display with anti-glare lens coating provides excellent daytime and nighttime readability with high-contrast digits scalable up to 36 mm.
Airmar DST810 Thru-hull Smart Transducer
DST810 combines precise depth, speed and temperature data with altitude sensing for heel/trim and pitch/roll inputs — which it provides to the NMEA 2000® network and GNX 20 instrument. This multisensor transducer can read depths to 330 feet, offers fast 5 Hz water speed signal output and has an operating frequency of 235 kHz with a fan-shaped beamwidth of 10x44 degrees. Additionally, wireless connectivity to devices with BLUETOOTH® technology enables DST810 calibration directly through Airmar’s Cast app. Advanced speed calibration allows for calibration at multiple heel angles and speeds.
