B&G 213 Wind Sensor (Masthead Unit) Guide
The 213 MHU is a legendary high-performance analog wind sensor used on Grand Prix racing yachts for its incredible sensitivity and long-term durability.
The 213 is a legacy analog sensor; it requires a B&G H5000 or NMEA 2000 interface (like the iTC-5) to communicate with modern digital displays.
It features a counterweighted vertical vane and specialized bearings that provide a nearly instantaneous response to the slightest change in wind direction.
Constructed from rugged, UV-stabilized materials, the 213 is designed to withstand years of exposure to saltwater and extreme winds at the top of a mast.
Yes, it is fully serviceable with replacement parts (vane, cups, bearings) widely available, ensuring the sensor can be maintained for decades.
