With its announcement of LightHouse Hvar 3.16, Raymarine has joined the list of display systems compatible with Cyclops Marine's innovative load sensors, meaning that every major brand of displays can now be used in conjunction with the performance enhancing innovations, which can also be viewed through a free smartphone app.

Named after the Croatian island of HVAR, in the eastern Adriatic Sea, LightHouse Hvar 3.16 will incorporate several feature additions and include smart, wireless, load-sensing technology from Cyclops Marine. LightHouse software releases afford new regular system benefits to all boaters using Axiom® displays.

The integration of this technology with LightHouse Hvar 3.16 is destined to provide a significant boost and added awareness for performance sailors and recreational boaters alike.

Cyclops Marine's range of wireless load sensors measure the load bearings on a sailing yacht's rigging system. smarttune is designed to replace the existing bottlescrew body on either the forestay or sidestays, while smartlink can simply be added inline to any sheet, halyard, backstay, control line, vang, tack line or runner. These sensors connect wirelessly to the below-deck Cyclops Marine Gateway, which interfaces with Raymarine Axiom displays to reveal load bearings at identified stress points on a yacht's rigging. LightHouse Hvar 3.16 allows users to see at a glance, the live, static and dynamic load data conveyed by the Cyclops Marine sensors at up to 50 sensor placements. Data is also logged for post-sail analysis.
