Vakaros Atlas 2

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

The most accurate instrument on the water. Ever.

Atlas 2 is the first sailing instrument capable of dual band, L1 + L5 GNSS reception. Measure positional accuracy in centimeters, only on the Atlas 2.

• Optimized for L1 + L5 signals, correcting for ionosphere error and reducing multi-path interference
• Multi-constellation reception of GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou
• 25 Hz update rate: a 40% improvement
• Unprecedented 50 cm positional 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 capable of resolving heading changes as small as 0.1°. An advanced motion fusion algorithm and adjustable damping keep the compass steady—even in the roughest conditions. Because if your compass doesn’t know where you’re heading, everything else it tells you is wrong.
• Gyro Stabilization
• Unmatched 0.1° heading resolution
• Motion fusion at 50 Hz
• Reference angles so you never miss a shift

Win the Start. Extend.

If you win the start, you control the fleet. It’s why we refined every aspect of starting for Atlas 2. State-of-the-art sensors. Sophisticated algorithms that give numbers you can trust: distance and time-to-line. Starting screens deliver the situational awareness you need to get to the line on-time and at full speed. But, don’t just take our word for it; ask any number of top pros & 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 that every boat has an optimum attitude in the water for maximum performance. The Atlas 2 is designed to help you find those angles and hold them consistently, keeping your sails, hull, and foils performing at their best.

• Heel and trim angles keep you in the groove
• Consistency bars help your crew keep the platform stable
• Adjustable offsets allow you to mount in any orientation

More sensors. Zero wires.

Need to measure depth? Speed-through-water? Wind? The Atlas 2 can wirelessly link with 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 customize the display to see exactly what you want, when you want to see it.

Want lights to let you know when you’re running out of water? Done. How close are you to your polar numbers in 14kts true wind? We’ll tell you. Data logging for all your external sensors? Naturally.

Nothing else comes close.

A New Way To Race

Every Atlas 2 includes a game-changing technology called RaceSense. It allows you to run an instant race with just the touch of a button, or enjoy an unmatched experience at your next regatta.

RaceSense can call the start with centimeter accuracy, putting an end to general recalls, black flag starts, and protests. It can enforce boundaries, handle scoring, and even show you a live leaderboard while you race. RaceSense is the future of racing, and it’s only available on 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 reflective display for maximum performance in all lighting conditions

Red nightlight keeps you sharp and focused

100 hours of battery, rechargable without wires

What’s better than wireless charging? Wireless charging and a battery that lasts for 100+ hours. Or to put that another way, over 4 days. Week-long regatta? No problem. Distance race? We've got you covered. And if you ever do run it down, a 20 minute charge over breakfast will last an entire 10 hour day on the water. Better yet, the oversized Lithium Ion Polymer battery has capacity to spare, capacity we use to intelligently maximize charging 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 needs to be able to handle whatever happens. That’s why we designed the Atlas 2 with an advanced polymer case and wireless charging. Water simply cannot get in. And it is completely unaffected by saltwater, heat, cold, and UV. The super-tough Gorilla Glass screen will stand up to as many wipeouts as you can take. Want proof? We cover the Atlas 2 with an industry leading 2-year warranty.

Visual cues from anywhere

When your instrument simply reports heading and speed to you, there is no need for next-generation indicators. But the Atlas 2 has things it wants to tell you. Important things like how many lengths to the line. Fun things like when you just set your daily max speed on that killer rip. That’s why the Atlas 2 has an array of 7 LEDs and 2 powerful speakers designed to get your attention and keep you informed. And there is more to come. This much is sure; you’re going to LOVE the capabilities we’ve got planned for the Atlas 2.
