B&G H3000 instrument system Launched at METS

by Saul Trewern on 18 Nov 2006 Launched at METS 2006, the B&G H3000 instrument system is set to take the sailing world by storm with an exciting combination of unique functionality, superb flexibility and unmatched accuracy.

As the next generation in B&G's long line of winning instrument systems, H3000 is an evolutionary step forward from the highly regarded, by racers and cruiser alike, Hydra and Hercules H2000 systems.

H3000 is the first instrument system using revolutionary bonded-screen technology with index-matched materials for maximum display clarity. This new technology also eliminates any chance of condensation.

The sophisticated H3000 Central Processing Unit is the core of the system and has Hydra, Hercules and Hercules Performance level software all in one box. This flexibility ensures that serious cruising and racing owners can choose the system best suited to them and upgrade it as they wish, reflecting B&G's ethos that every yacht/owner has unique requirements.

B&G AutoCal automated calibration routines have been added and make complex calibration procedures quick and easy.

The new H3000 range consists of several new instrument display units, designed to provide highly accurate, easy to read data throughout a yacht.

H3000 GFD: This high-resolution graphical display is the centre point of the H3000 network. With a highly intuitive user interface the GFD allows new ways of visualising sailing data in colour or monochrome.

H3000 FFD: B&G FFDs are renowned for their clarity and reliability so the H3000 FFD utilises the same core technology, only it has undergone a facelift to fit the styling of the H3000 range.

H3000 Pilot: The world famous B&G Pilot excellence is retained and complimented by the new graphic display, bringing the power and flexibility of the GFD to the record breaking B&G Pilot.

H3000 Analogues: Retaining the classic looks so revered by sailors around the world, H3000 displays have been engineered with even greater accuracy and durability, making them the only serious choice if a classic look and high performance is required.

H3000 Large Format Displays: The 20/20 is a race proven display, used on the world's fastest yachts and depended upon by winning teams. H3000 builds on this success with the introduction of the 30/30, a new high performance mast display for both cruise and racing yachts in the 50' - 90' range. The 40/40 returns with an H3000 version, designed for superyacht use where large displays are required due to the distances from user to display.

'H3000 is an evolution of our proven winning formula, offering unique improvements in functionality, accuracy and display technology,' states Richard Acland, Managing Director, B&G. 'We are committed to the uncompromising needs of our increasingly discerning customers so we have looked at every single element of the H2000 system and implemented significant enhancements that will make real world differences to performance, whether racing or cruising.'
