A Chartplotter Designed for Sailors

Unlike a general-purpose marine chartplotter, the B&G Vulcan 7R has been developed specifically around the needs of sailors.

B&G's dedicated sailing software provides useful information for both cruising and racing, helping you understand your boat's performance and make better sailing decisions.

Connect compatible wind, speed, depth and heading information through NMEA 2000 and the Vulcan becomes much more than a GPS chartplotter – it becomes a central sailing information display.

B&G SailSteer

SailSteer brings important sailing information together on one easy-to-understand display.

Depending on the instruments and sensors connected to your network, SailSteer can provide a graphical representation of information such as:

• Heading
• Wind direction
• Laylines
• Tide
• Bearing to waypoint
• Course over ground

Rather than checking multiple instrument displays individually, SailSteer helps bring key sailing information together in one place.

For cruising sailors this can make passage information easier to interpret, while racing sailors can use the additional sailing data to help make tactical decisions.

Laylines & SailingTime

The Vulcan 7R includes dedicated Layline and SailingTime functionality.

Laylines can help sailors visualise the course required to reach a waypoint based on current sailing conditions.

This is particularly useful when sailing upwind, where the most direct route to a destination may require multiple tacks.

B&G's SailingTime functionality is designed to provide arrival calculations that account for the realities of sailing rather than simply assuming a straight-line powered route.
