Vakaros Atlas 2 Sailing Instrument

Say hello to the ultimate sailing instrument. Centimetre accuracy with the only L1 + L5 GNSS on the water. A compass that measures to a tenth of a degree. Wireless charging, nearly a week of battery life and much more. Just wait until you see what Atlas 2 can do.

The most accurate instrument on the water.
Atlas 2 is the first sailing instrument capable of dual-band L1 + L5 GNSS reception. Measure position accuracy in centimetres – only with Atlas 2.

• Optimised for L1 + L5 signals, correcting ionospheric errors and reducing multipath interference
• Multi-GNSS reception: GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou
• 25 Hz update rate: 40% better
• Unprecedented 50 cm position accuracy

A magnetic compass that knows where it's going.
Atlas 2 takes compass performance to a new level. The state-of-the-art magnetic sensor is 4 times more sensitive and can resolve heading changes of just 0.1°. An advanced motion fusion algorithm and adjustable damping keep the compass stable – even in the roughest conditions. Because if your compass doesn't know where you're heading, everything else it tells you is wrong. 

• Gyro stabilisation
• Unrivalled 0.1° heading resolution
• Motion fusion at 50 Hz
• Reference angles so you never miss a shift

 Win the start. Extend.
Win the start and you lead the fleet. That's why we refined every aspect of Atlas 2 with state-of-the-art sensors. Sophisticated algorithms give you numbers you can trust: distance and time to the line. Start screens give you the situational awareness you need to hit the line on time and at full speed. But don't just take our word for it; ask any number of top pros and world champions. They'll tell you the same thing – Vakaros delivers starts that help them win.

Attitude matters
Why do top sailors pay attention to heel and trim angles? Because they know every boat has an optimal position in the water for maximum performance. Atlas 2 is designed to help you find those angles and hold them consistently, keeping your sails, hull and foils at their best.

• Heel and trim angles keep you in the groove
• A consistency indicator helps your crew keep the platform stable
• Adjustable offsets let you mount the unit in any orientation

More sensors. Zero wires.
Need to measure depth? Speed through water? Wind? Atlas 2 can connect wirelessly to a range of sensors and combine their data with its powerful internal sensors and motion algorithms. Setting up new sensors is easy with the Vakaros Connect app, and you can customise the display to show exactly what you want, when you want to see it.

Want lights to tell you when you're running out of water? Done. How close are you to your polars in 14 knots of true wind? We'll tell you. Data logging for all external sensors? Of course.

Nothing else comes close.

A new way to race
Every Atlas 2 includes game-changing technology called RaceSense. It lets you start a race at the push of a button or enjoy an unrivalled experience at your next regatta.

RaceSense can call the start with centimetre accuracy, ending general recalls, black flag starts and protests. It can enforce boundaries, handle scoring and even show you a live leaderboard during the race. RaceSense is the future of racing, and it's only available in Atlas 2.

Extreme optics for extreme conditions

• 1.1 mm thick chemically strengthened Corning Gorilla Glass
• High-performance multi-layer anti-reflective (AR) coating eliminates glare
• Advanced hydrophobic coating repels water, dirt and fingerprints
• Optically bonded display for maximum performance in all lighting conditions
• Red night light keeps you sharp and focused

100-hour battery, charges wirelessly
What's better than wireless charging? Wireless charging and a battery that lasts 100+ hours. In other words, more than 4 days. A week-long regatta? No problem. A distance race? Don't worry. And if Atlas 2 ever does run flat, a 20-minute charge over breakfast lasts a full 10-hour day on the water. Even better, the oversized lithium-ion polymer battery has reserve capacity that we use to intelligently maximise charge cycles while delivering best-in-class battery life. Because you'll want to use it for years to come.

Tougher than ever.
You're sailing faster and faster, and your gear has to handle whatever happens. That's why we designed Atlas 2 with an advanced polymer housing and wireless charging. Water simply can't get in. It's unaffected by salt water, heat, cold or UV. The ultra-tough Gorilla Glass display can withstand as many wipes as you can throw at it. Want proof? We give Atlas 2 an industry-leading 2-year warranty.

• Log your sailing.
  • Every time your Atlas 2 is switched on, it logs valuable telemetry data.
• Replay the data
  • The world's best sailors rely on good data to understand and improve. So should you.
• Customise your interface
  • Use our layout builder to create any combination of widgets and fully customise your Atlas 2 experience.

Visual cues from anywhere
If your device only tells you heading and speed, you don't need next-generation indicators. But Atlas 2 has things to tell you. Important things, like distance to the start line. Fun things, like when you've just set your top speed of the day on killer waves. That's why Atlas 2 has 7 LEDs and 2 powerful speakers designed to grab your attention and keep you informed. And there's more to come. One thing's for sure: you'll LOVE what's planned for Atlas 2.
