Come sail away, safely and responsibly, with the Suunto M9 wrist-top computer/timepiece that's designed specifically for both cruising and racing sailors. It features a built-in GPS receiver, weather tracking, and a variety of racing measurements (sailing timer, start line bias, distance to start line, and distance to layline). And you can download data to your Windows PC for a more graphical representation of your performance.

With the GPS functionality, you can store up to 50 routes (and 10 race routes) in the memory. Each route can include 50 waypoints, ten of which can be alarm points. The compass mode aids the GPS functions and offers you navigational support even when the GPS is off. The 3-axis compass sensor allows tilting up to 30 degrees while still displaying the correct bearing.

The Suunto M9 helps you get a better start by calculating the correct start line bias each time the wind direction is updated. It also displays the distance to the start line in connection with the start timer to help cross the line at the right moment. After start, the unit helps you discover changes in wind direction on upwind legs and keeps track of laylines for optimum tacking around the buoys.

The Suunto M9 comes packed with solutions enabling safe and responsible sailing. The MOB function helps you prevent a fatal accident. The weather functions help you predict drastic weather changes and avoid storms in advance. If you still end up in bad weather, the unit guides you to a safe harbor. The compass provides valuable information, and will also allow you to memorize the wind directions for tactical racing functions.

The Suunto Sail Manager (SSM) software enables deeper understanding and better graphical representation of the data recorded and stored by Suunto M9. SSM makes navigation easier by visualizing the routes and sailed tracks on digital ARCS marine charts. You can plan routes in advance on your PC and upload them to your Suunto M9. SSM allows you to upload specific racetracks in the unit even if you do not know the correct positions of the turn buoys. It also serves as a valuable tool for analyzing the data stored with your Suunto M9 and helps you discover how to improve your performance.
