Why we use the range
Equipment is only useful when it fits the site.
Sailing-focused chartplotters, instruments, processors, autopilots, radar, ForwardScan and VHF/AIS built around wind and performance data.
B&G designs its electronics around sailing. Zeus and Vulcan chartplotters, instrument displays, wind/depth sensors, processors, autopilots, radar, ForwardScan and VHF/AIS can share a network so navigation and sailing performance data are presented coherently at the helm.
Product breadth
The useful parts of the range.
This is a practical, paraphrased guide to the manufacturer's published range. Exact models, approvals and availability are checked against the current project information before quotation.
Chartplotters & instruments
Zeus/Vulcan displays and dedicated instruments for charting, wind, speed, depth, laylines and sailing data.
Autopilot, radar & sonar
Sailing autopilot components, radar and ForwardScan/sonar options matched to hull, steering and use.
VHF & AIS
Fixed DSC radios with GPS, AIS receive or transceive and wireless handset options on suitable models.
Selection model
Four tests before a product reaches the quotation.
Brand familiarity is not enough. We look at what happens during normal operation, credible faults, maintenance and future change.

Whole-life assessment
Why it may suit a particular environment.
Resilience
Protected feeds, network segmentation and independent essential instruments help preserve navigation and communication through a single-device failure.
Performance
Accurate sailing data depends on transducer location, calibration, compass quality, clean wind data and correctly tuned steering—not just the display.
Environmental value
Retaining compatible NMEA 2000 sensors during a display upgrade can reduce waste; efficient operation still requires a complete DC load assessment.
Parts & support
The sailing-focused product and support ecosystem helps coherent upgrades. Network version, legacy adapters, chart media and software are documented before work.
Our application
Selected against evidence—not a favourite badge.
Sailing use, helm locations, sensor accuracy, autopilot drive, rudder feedback, NMEA topology, VHF/AIS, power and independent backup are designed together.
- Survey the supply, load, interfaces and physical environment.
- Confirm current technical data, approvals and system compatibility.
- Define maintenance access, records, spares and software responsibilities.
- State the chosen equipment and material assumptions in the quotation.
- Test, commission and hand over the work included in our scope.
