HVision range debuts at METS

Date: 19/11/2008

Choice of four instrument displays for every application

 

(METS 2008) The new HVision family of instrument displays from B&G has been unveiled for the first time at METS 2008. The HVision concept both updates two existing B&G mast displays and introduces for the first time at METS a new compact model, which together create an integrated range to suit every need.

The 20/20 HV and 40/40 HV models will look familiar to racing and superyacht sailors around the world, but both have been upgraded with new HVision display technology to give the units even greater clarity and durability. The 20/20 HV is an extremely clear display for maximum visibility of key information on yachts in the 30ft to 50ft range. The 30/30 HV provides a mast display suitable for yachts in the 50 to 90ft range. The 40/40 HV addresses the data display requirements of 70ft and above super yachts. Completing the range and debuting at METS is the 10/10 HV, a compact display ideal for focus areas where a single line of critical information is needed such as winch pedestals or trimming positions.

HVision technology ensures that the HVision range remains the choice of dedicated sailors everywhere. The unique bonded screen construction together with the use of toughened glass and anti-reflective coating ensures that these units are not only tough but give unrivalled, wide-angle clarity and zero condensation. Segmented single line data, high contrast black on white screens and 3 level LED backlighting further enhance the viewing experience in all light and visibility conditions.

B&G instrument displays have consistently led the market with both grand prix and club racing sailors. The HVision range now consolidates that position and ensures that yachtsmen and women can now access that vital performance data when and where they need it.
