Tacktick’s Maxi range offers an impressive array of innovative features including a start line function that tells racers to speed up or slow down as they approach the start line, a crucial tool for optimising starts. The displays use high contract LCD screens with super-large digits to give maximum clarity. With no wires to run through the boat or up the mast and super-thin, lightweight displays, Tacktick’s instruments offer the most weight efficient package for race boat owners.
The Maxi range comes with many sophisticated features including the highly responsive Line Bias, Wind Shift and Timer functions, indications for acceleration and speed trends, plus advanced Set, Drift, Turn and Course to Steer functions; which provide exceptional advantages in tidal waters.
As with all Tacktick instruments the displays are capable of receiving and displaying all forms of data wirelessly; from polar data, true wind speed, VMG and compass headings to speed, depth and wind, SOG, COG and navigational data. Both the new Dual Maxi and the Maxi displays can be controlled and configured from anywhere on the boat using Tacktick’s Remote Display.
