B&G — Marine Electronics Built for Sailors

B&G is the only major marine electronics brand designed specifically for sailing. From the Vulcan and Zeus chartplotters to the H5000 instrument system used on Volvo Ocean Race boats, B&G builds purpose-engineered hardware and sail-specific software (laylines, polars, SailSteer, RacePanel) that no other brand offers out of the box.

Why B&G for Sailboats

While other brands adapt powerboat electronics for sail use, B&G's entire product line is engineered around the questions sailors actually ask: What's my optimal angle? Am I making my polars? Where are the laylines for the next mark? Combined with the brand's heritage in offshore racing (Whitbread, America's Cup, Vendée Globe), B&G hardware is built to survive blue-water conditions that consumer electronics simply aren't designed for.

Featured B&G Categories

• Chartplotters & MFDs — Vulcan and Zeus³ multifunction displays with SailSteer, laylines, and ForwardScan
• Autopilots — NAC computers and drives engineered for sail trim and apparent wind tracking
• Radar — Halo open-array and dome radars for offshore navigation and weather avoidance
• Instruments — Triton² and H5000 instrument systems with true wind, polars, and target boat speed

Sail-Specific B&G Installation Expertise

A B&G system performs only as well as its install. Proper masthead transducer mounting, accurate boat calibration (true wind, heel offset, leeway), and integration with the autopilot and engine NMEA 2000 network are critical to getting real performance data underway. Our team specializes in B&G installations on cruising and racing sailboats from 30 to 80 feet — including full system commissioning, calibration sails, and crew training.
