Raymarine Wireless Micronet Race Master

The Raymarine Tacktick Race Master is a solar-powered wireless race compass for sailors who need heading and race-timing information without running another cable across the cockpit. Its dual-line monochrome LCD and internal Micronet system keep the display independent of a fixed NMEA 2000 installation. It is a tactical sailing instrument, not a chartplotter, depth display, or fishfinder.

The display is bracket mounted and backlit for night racing, while the internal battery can provide up to 300 hours of autonomy with solar charging. Micronet wireless operates at 868MHz or 915MHz, depending on the system version. NMEA data is available through an optional wireless gateway rather than a direct cable. The IPX8 housing is designed for submersion, which is useful on a racing boat where spray and knockdowns are part of normal use.

Who Is This For?

This wireless sailing compass suits racing yachts, performance sailboats, and crews who need a dedicated race display away from the main helm. It is not ideal for buyers wanting charting, sonar, or a direct wired NMEA instrument, because the unit uses proprietary Micronet wireless communication.

Warranty & Support

Raymarine provides a 2-year standard warranty. The supplied specifications do not state warranty exclusions or service procedures.

The Race Master is the clean-installation choice for race crews who want heading and tactical information without adding another cockpit cable. Its trade-off is the proprietary wireless system and narrow race-focused display. Choose it for a Micronet sailing network, not as a substitute for a chartplotter or general-purpose marine instrument.
