B&G Hercules Sailing Processor - 000-15135-001

Hercules Sailing Processor

Hercules® is a sailing processor built for sailors who demand more. It boasts greater accuracy, richer features, and better connectivity than ever before. Broad compatibility and advanced datasets give performance sailors the upper hand in the competition. And a brand-new web interface allows for easy data recording and management for all.

Passion for Precision:

Hercules® is designed to sit at the heart of an advanced sailing system. With an ultra-fast processor and maximized 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, analyzed, replayed, and shared.

Fine Tune, Record & Review:

With Hercules, sailing data can be recorded to an SD card, providing greater storage for custom data recording, which can be managed through the new, intuitive web interface. Advanced data recording also allows users to record custom events like sail changes and configurations for later analysis.

Maximized Integration:

Built for use on serious cruising and racing yachts, Hercules supports dual wind sensors and rudders on board with both mono- and multi-hull builds. With a guided onboarding system and automated calibration for core sensors, set-up, and management are 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 analog and serial modules, and the new Hercules Expansion module.
