Description
B&G Hercules Sailing Processor
Hercules® is designed to sit at the heart of an advanced sailing system. With an ultra-fast processor and maximised integration options, Hercules delivers an expanded suite of sailing data to B&G Nemesis™ displays, Vulcan™ or Zeus® Chartplotters. Data can be accessed via the B&G App or the all-new web interface, allowing recordings to be uploaded to the cloud, where it can be viewed, analysed, replayed and shared.
Enhanced Accuracy
Hercules is engineered for precision. Greater accuracy comes from advanced calculation options and calibration for true wind, with advanced heel and motion correction* improving boat speed calibration. Advanced Polar Tables and Target performance data help users achieve optimal performance and navigation. And racers get the upper hand with intelligent StartLine calculation.

Fine Tune, Record & Review
With Hercules, sailing data can be uploaded to a B&G cloud account and accessed and managed either through the new web interface or using the B&G Companion App. The intuitive web interface lets users view, edit, and switch between correction and polar tables with ease. Advanced data capture also allows users to record custom events like sail changes and configurations for later analysis.
Maximised Integration
Built for use on serious cruising and racing yachts, Hercules supports dual wind sensors and rudders, onboard both mono- and multi-hull builds. With a guided on-boarding system and automated calibration for core sensors, set up and management is simple.
Hercules is NMEA2000 and Ethernet compatible and supports loadcell data along with third-party analytics services. It’s fully compatible with existing Triton™ 2, H5000, HV and Nemesis™ displays, H5000 Analogue and Serial modules, and the new Hercules Expansion module.
