nke and the Beneteau 10R

nke and Beneteau - A Winning Combination
The nke instrument package being offered on the Beneteau 10R is but a small part of the complete package of nke offerings. Designed for optimal sailing performance, the addition of the nke Gyropilot with wireless remote and MOB transmitter will increase performance and provide vital safety features. nke Gyropilot II: a hydraulic below-deck pilot with integrated gyrometer The most reliable power unit on the market today is from nke, with superior hydraulic engineering that translates into reliability and rapid response to changing conditions. Tested on the world's oceans by boats ranging from "Mini" to "Maxi", the Gyropilot II was installed on the winning boats in the last Mini Transat, Figaro, Around Alone, and Vendee Globe. The nke hydraulic drive unit includes a reversible pump with a linear drive, attached by 1m hydraulic lines pre-bled at the factory.The pilot is available with an optional "True Wind / SOG Mode" for racing and heavy weather conditions that require maximum response from the helm, which is recommended for sailors that race offshore in surfing conditions, or shorthanded.

Gyropilot: wireless remote control and MOB transmitter
Also optional and exclusive to the nke system, is the wireless remote control for the Gyropilot that combines two functions: remote control and "man overboard" system. Remote control function:
Wherever the sailor is on the boat, the remote control allows the pilot to be started, stopped, or steered. The remote consists of an extremely light transmitter that is worn around the wrist or neck, and a receiver connected to the nke BUS.

"Man Over Board" System:
The solo yachtsman or the man on watch wears a transmitter that constantly transmits an unique identification code. This code can be received only if the transmitter is situated within a radius of about thirty meters from the receiver. When the code ceases to be received by the system, a pre-alarm is sounded audibly, followed by a visual notation on the nke displays, and finally the 'man over-board' procedure is activated. The instruments make note of where the MOB alarm was triggered, and indicate bearing and distance. In 'solo' mode when the autopilot is driving the boat the autopilot will reference the wind angle and turn the boat head to wind to give the MOB an opportunity to return, and also to assist rescue services in finding the victim by keeping the boat nearby. In 'Crewed' mode, or when the autopilot is not activated the system will only display MOB data on the instrument displays and sound an audible alarm to warn the other crew. Further, there are two contact relays on the receiver that are activated in the process. One is activated immediately, and the other after 10 minutes. These can be connected to external devices such as a DSC radio or EPIRB to get help on the way if the MOB is unable to return to the boat.

Other optional nke components that 10R owners may be interested in:

Nav table display, either a DL18 or Performance display
Wireless remote for Multifunction Display - control the TL25 from the rail!
NMEA output interface - for connecting a laptop for navigation and performance data
Additional sensors include Heel angle, Barometer, GPS and Battery monitor Tactical / Navigation software such as nke Prodata or Optima
