Rotorvane Anemometer, Marine Applications
Raymarine is the world leader in marine electronics. Raymarine develops
and
manufactures a comprehensive range of electronic equipment for
the recreational boating and light commercial marine markets.
Raymarine uses Rotorvane technology
under licence in their "Rotavecta" wind sensor.
One-time America's Cup hopeful "Kookaburra" is fitted with a Rotavecta
wind sensor.
This sensor has about half the number of parts as a traditional
vane-plus-rotor sensor, and a single wire pair connects the sensor at
the masthead to the display unit forward of the helmsman.
Weight aloft is thus kept to a minimum, improving sailing performance.
"Fearless" is Victoria Police's largest vessel and is used for
search and rescue in the
very demanding waters of Australia's Bass Strait.
The compact
construction of
the Rotavecta sensor fits neatly within
the host of antennae, lights and other devices on the Christmas
Tree.
The low parts count of the Rotavecta sensor improves reliability, in
this application potentially a life saving benefit.
This Adams 10.6 is fitted with a Rotavecta wind sensor.
Minimum weight, good accuracy, high reliability and competitive pricing
makes the Rotavecta an excellent choice for both cruising and racing.
