Enter the realm of precision sailing with this trusted player in the sail racing instrument domain since the inaugural Velocitek’s launch of ProStart in 2010. Continuously evolving, the 2020 ProStart V2 maintains the beloved simplicity of its design while introducing key enhancements. The backlit display, shielded by scratch-resistant Gorilla® Glass, remains crisp and easy to read in various light conditions. The addition of a red light mode ensures visibility during low-light and night-time sailing. Hiding inside Velocitek Prostart V2 are new sensors—magnetic compass, inertial measurement unit, and multi-constellation GPS receiver—deliver instantaneous and high-precision information on speed, heading, and position, eliminating lag. Powered by a rechargeable battery with a 75-hour operation, this sailing instrument focuses on core functionality without wireless connectivity. However, logged data can be easily offloaded via USB for analysis in third-party software. The startline screen showcases a timer and distance-to-line, complemented by a progress bar appearing at 2 minutes, indicating whether you'll be early or late based on the current course and speed. Embrace precision with this sailing instrument—a reliable evolution of simplicity and accuracy in the world of sailing technology.
