Velocitek Prostart

Lean and mean.

The ProStart has the GPS instrument features that pro sailors actually use and nothing else.

By popular demand.

Distance-to-line is the main reason why sportboat sailors buy GPS instruments. We built one that does it better than anything else.

An expletive-free experience.

The ProStart’s ultra-simple user interface features clearly marked mechanical buttons that do exactly what you expect them to. This makes the ProStart easy to learn and easy to explain to your crew.

Pedigree.

We didn’t get here by accident. The ProStart is the result of five years of evolution that started when Velocitek introduced the world’s first Performance Sailing GPS Instrument in 2005.

Mount the ProStart anywhere.
Each ProStart comes packaged with a mounting cradle that can be bolted to the ProStart Mast Mounting Bracket or directly to a bulkhead. The cradle is also compatible with any bracket designed for the venerable Tacktick Micro Compass.

Easy on the eyes.
The ProStart’s sunlight-readable high-contrast LCD screen features 30mm (1.2”) tall digits in a font that’s optimized for readability. This makes the instrument easy to read with a quick glance and helps you keep your attention focused outside the boat.

Tactile Feedback
The ergonomic design of the ProStart makes it's large buttons easy to press with one hand even when your boat is pitching around. The spring-loaded mechanical buttons also provide positive tactile feedback. This lets you know that you’ve successfully pinged a mark without having to look at the ProStart’s screen.

Waterproof.
The ProStart has been tested to IPX-8, the most rigorous industrial water-resistance standard. This means that you can count on the ProStart to survive wipeout after epic wipeout.

Snap and swap.
The ProStart’s sealed battery compartment can be opened without tools This allows you to swap in a fresh set of standard rechargeable or disposable AA cells in mere seconds.
