BG WS320 Wireless Wind Pack with Interface

WS320 Wireless Wind Sensor (000-14383-001)

Introducing the B&G WS320 Wireless Wind Sensor Pack (00014383001), a premium solution built for cruising and club-racing sailors who demand precise, real-time wind data without the hassle of running cables up the mast.

This wireless wind sensor pack combines high-performance measurement, ease of installation, and proven reliability — making it ideal for both serious racers and passionate weekend sailors alike.

Key Features & Capabilities:

• Designed for precision wind measurement across all points of sail and heel angles. The WS 320 has been benchmarked in more than 500 wind-tunnel tests to deliver exceptional accuracy. 
• Wireless installation: No cables through the mast are required, making installation simple and streamlined — perfect for boats where mast-top wiring is costly or difficult. 
• Real-time data output at a rapid rate: Capable of outputting apparent wind speed and angle at 5 Hz (i.e. 5 times per second), delivering quick response to shifts and gusts. 
• Solar-powered and rechargeable: The sensor’s built-in solar panel and rechargeable battery enable continuous operation without complex wiring. 
• Excellent measurement specs:
  • Wind speed resolution: 0.05 m/s (≈0.1 knots) 
  • Wind speed accuracy: ±0.1 m/s (±0.2 knots) in the range 1-40 m/s (2-80 knots) 
  • Wind speed range: 0.25-50 m/s (0.5-97 knots) 
  • Wind angle resolution: 0.1° and accuracy ±0.5° 
• Robust design: Lightweight (0.32 kg / 0.7 lbs), and built to withstand harsh marine conditions with IPx6/IPx7 waterproofing, and operational temperature range from -25°C to +65°C. 
• Reliable wireless connectivity: Transmits data to the interface unit via Bluetooth or equivalent interface up to ~30 m (98 ft) distance, compatible with most NMEA 2000 networks. 

Full kit included: Sensor, wireless interface (Bluetooth), rechargeable battery, mast-head bracket, NMEA 2000 drop cable, Micro-C T-joiner, fixings kit and pole mount for interface — everything you need for a clean installation.

Why It Stands Out:

• No compromise accuracy: Unlike many wireless sensors that sacrifice precision, the WS320 offers the same angle and speed accuracy as wired sensors, while delivering five-times-per-second updates for ultra-responsive wind data.
• Streamlined installation: Ideal for smaller boats and retrofit installations where mast wiring is troublesome. Lightweight and aerodynamically refined, the sensor minimises drag aloft. 
• Built for the long haul: Supported by over 200,000 hours of field testing, the WS320 is engineered to be the most exposed and critical sensor on your yacht. 
• Ready for performance: Whether you’re racing or cruising, the rapid update rate and high resolution give you actionable data for sail trim, autopilot integration and tactical decisions.

Installation Tips & Best Practices:

• Pair the sensor and interface while the units are close together to ensure reliable initial setup. Some users report needing the units within close proximity for initial pairing. 
• Mount the sensor at the mast-head where clear air flow is available, avoiding turbulence from spreaders or rigging. The manufacturer suggests suitability for masts up to ~25 m (≈80 ft) subject to install variables. 
• Ensure the solar panel on the sensor receives sufficient light, especially if installed under covers or biminis. Although rated for harsh conditions, battery maintenance is still important. (Some user reports highlight battery longevity matters.) 
• Confirm NMEA 2000 network compatibility and proper length drop cable for your layout. The kit includes a 6 ft (1.8 m) NMEA 2000 drop cable and Micro-C T-joiner. 

Who It’s For:

• Cruising skippers and sailing enthusiasts who want accurate, reliable wind data without complex mast-wiring
• Club racers and performance sailors seeking high fidelity wind information for tactics, sail trim and instrument feedback
• Retrofits on boats with minimal wiring access, or new installations where weight and drag aloft matter

If you’re seeking a wireless wind sensor that doesn’t compromise on precision, reliability or ease of install, the B&G WS320 Pack is a best-in-class choice.

With five-times-per-second data output, high accuracy matching wired systems, and a comprehensive installation kit, it offers modern sailors a streamlined way to get premium wind data — letting you focus on sailing, not wiring.
