The 30/30 mast display follows the traditions of rugged, large screen displays that B&G is famous for, but introduces new technology to the mix. The 30/30 is the first mast display from any manufacturer to feature bonded screen technology, which eliminates misting and at the same time provides unmatched viewing clarity from a distance.
The combination of clear large format digits, simple layout and bonded screens means that with a 30/30 on the mast, users can be sure that vital instrument data is always in sight.
“B&G mast displays are iconic. They are there for all to see on the world’s fastest and most famous yachts so we have to be right on the money when we develop a new model,” comments Richard Acland, Managing Director, B&G. “When designing the 30/30 it was vital, as with the entire H3000 solution, that we utilised the best technology to get the best performance. In using bonded screen technology, we have achieved this and introduced something completely new to the market.”
The 30/30 will find a home on racing and cruising yachts of 50ft+. This new, cutting edge display sits in size between the 20/20 and 40/40 displays already available from B&G. All three mast displays integrate seamlessly with both the new B&G H3000 instrument system and existing H2000 systems.
“The introduction of H3000 early in 2007 was a landmark event. It was the first time we have launched an entire instrument range in 10 years and B&G users have supported us throughout. We continue to develop H3000 so expect to see more additions, like the 30/30, to the range in the future,” says Acland.
The 30/30 mast display can be seen as part of the H3000 system on the Navico stand (D46) at Genoa Boat Show 2007.
