Two-Line display

With the two-line display, there is no need to compromise:

Before the start: With the countdown and heading in view, be on time and be at the favoured end.

After the start: With the tactical display and heading in view, play the shifts upwind and downwind.

THREE-BUTTON COUNTDOWN

The countdown is pure simplicity: the GO button starts the countdown and you can adjust the minutes with the left and right buttons even whilst the countdown is running.

Easy to read

The super-bold 30mm characters are easy to read and the twin displays ensure a clear view even from a hiking or trapezing position. The displays are compatible with polaroid sunglasses.

Reliable in all weather

Sailteck offers an unprecedented combination of water integrity and solar efficiency.  The large efficient solar panel provides more power than the electronics needs, even in the rain.  Built with a one part toughened transparent front, the Race Compass is submersible to 20m.

Other manufacturers often claim a precision of 1°, which simply means their displays repeat the same reading. Accuracy, however, means the reading is actually correct — something much harder to achieve. Sailteck specifies and delivers genuine 1° heading accuracy.

Accurate

The sold-state internal compass provides unmatched heading accuracy, keeping you a step ahead

WATERPROOF AND IMPACT-RESISTANT

Sailteck is continuously submersible up to 20 m and has triple protection against shocks in the event of accidental drops.

POWERED BY SOLAR ENERGY

Forget about recharging: Sailteck runs on solar power thanks to a high-efficiency solar panel and has 200 hours of battery life.
