Since launching with its “smart” range of wireless load sensors in 2020, Cyclops Marine has been helping sailors win regattas and move up fleets all over the world. From the America’s Cup, to the 52 Super Series, to The Rolex Middle Sea Race, and for weekend sailors everywhere, smartlink and smarttune have had a widespread impact by providing live (and logged) load data via Bluetooth to sailors’ smartphones and onboard displays.
During this time, however, with the ongoing pandemic, the global leader in wireless load sensors for marine applications has yet to debut at the world’s largest marine trade exhibition.
As well as premiering its flagship range of sensors, Cyclops has some exciting new developments to share…
smartlink EE: Pin to Pin Load Sensing for Dayboats
The latest device brought to market by Cyclops, smartlink EE brings the functionality of smartlink to a new kind of installation—the pin to pin, or eye to eye (EE) fixings of the super competitive Dayboat classes.
Sneak Peeks | New Models
In collaboration with B&G, Cyclops has recently developed a new safety warning
system whereby loads are displayed live through an electronic dial, triggering an automatic alert when overload is approaching. With this new innovation, Cyclops hopes to bring added value to the cruising market, and the new system will be on show for the first time ever at METSTRADE 2020.
Also with its release just around the corner, Cyclops’ new furler technology – smarttoggle® – promises to make a big splash. Ensuring peak performance every time, the new sensor will not only allow sailors to hit and repeat fast luff loads, adjusting luff load as wind speed and angles change, but also ensure the load is set for the most efficient furling.
Finally, Cyclops has an exciting collaboration with North Sails due to be announced just ahead of METSTRADE on Tuesday 16 November.
Come and speak to the Cyclops team about all of these exciting developments on Stand 03.211, Amsterdam RAI 16-18 November.
