Hi everyone,
I’ve been looking for a mast display that can provide real-time boat speed and heel angle measurements. I’ve seen some sailors using compact screens mounted on their Laser masts, and I’m interested in finding a reliable and affordable option. Also what would be the rules in smaller regattas about them?
From what I’ve gathered, the Velocitek ProStart and Tacktick Micro Compass by Raymarine are popular choices for their accuracy and durability. However, I’m specifically looking for models that also include heel angle measurement. Some options I’ve come across include the SailRacer BoatSpeed and Garmin GNX 20.
Does anyone have experience with these or other similar devices? What would you recommend for a Laser sailor looking for a good balance of functionality and cost? Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
