Models
Lashing Sensors
Lashing Sensors are added into connections with strops e.g backstay or vang. They are available in 2T, 5T, 10T and 15T sizes.
Helix Load Links
Helix Load Links precisely measure the luff and cable loads of the North Sails Helix Product Range, ensuring optimal load-sharing and improved performance.
Make the most out of equipment
Our Stand-Alone Sensors are designed specifically for North Sails, Future Fibres, Southern Spars and Hall Spars products.
Custom Solutions
We can design bespoke sensors for specific applications.
The Synapse App
Connect sensors to the Synapse mobile app via Bluetooth to stream live loads directly to your smart device.
Connecting Options
We offer Bluetooth and WiFi configurations for Stand-Alone Sensors. WiFi is generally preferable as it enables longer range connections and higher sample rates. Bluetooth is useful for simple applications – connecting directly to the Synapse smartphone app without the need for an intermediate hub.
