Once I had order the first Instrument it took over 6 month to arrive changing all the time the delivery date and the second one took also 7 month. The SailTimer Instrument did never function because my mast is 36 ft high and the Bluetooth signal did not arrive on my instrument or smartphone. The first SailTimer Wind Instrument after 3 month the plate where it was fixed brake and I lost the Instrument. So I talk to the company SailTimer and they sold me a second Instrument with factory price, but this Instrument also did not function, the Bluetooth signal did not arrive to the instrument or smartphone and also the wind direction is not working, I think it came with this defect from factory. I did not have support from the company and they only told me that it is not possible that it is not function properly. So at the end I have pay a lot of money and no result. SailTimer say that they have a new and stronger Bluetooth electronic in there new Instruments which have a longer range, admitting with this that the old Instruments had problem with the communication. So in the moment I also do not know what Wind-Instrument for rotating mast I will buy.

Re: Sailtimer Wind masthead unit Bluetooth

pls see my other posts(and other posters) related to this product here. Old and new version and how difficult the company is to deal with.

Don't just listen to me. Do some research on this product and company on the forums and the BBB (better business bureau) and the decision will be easy.
