WHY TACKTICK ?
If you designed the perfect marine instrument, would it have wires?
Besides giving you reliability and performance, Tacktick displays are unique. They are wireless and use ‘micro-power, solar technology, which means…
Reliability
80% of electronic faults are caused by wiring failures, proving that wire and water don’t mix. Remove wires and you instantly reduce the potential for leakage and breaks in data and power supply.
Easy Installation
A typical installation can be done in just a few hours, with your rig in place and your boat still in the water. There’s no need for holes in the bulkhead or wires down the mast.ww
Self-powering
Tacktick displays are solar powered with integrated lithium batteries that power the unit for life. Power consumption is so efficient that units can run autonomously for up to 300 hours.
Waterproof
All our products are sealed for life and are totally waterproof (submersible to 10m). This also means no condensation.
Lightweight
You save weight, making you quicker through the water. The elimination of wires in the mast not only reduces spar weight but also lowers the boats centre of gravity giving significant and immediate performance advantage.
Portability
You position your displays where YOU want them. Using clip in cradles, you displays can be positioned anywhere on the boat so you can view the information where and when you need it.
Easy Connectivity
All Tacktick systems can easily be connected to your existing on-board systems, it's never been easier. See our Connectivity Guide.

.. ANNOUNCING OUR MERGER WITH SUUNTO
Two of the leading innovators in the marine instruments market, Tacktick and Suunto, have joined forces. Suunto's vision is to be the world's most desired sports instrument brand.
Strategy
Suunto is a leading manufacturer of sports instruments for a variety of training, diving and outdoor sports. Our strategy is to focus on sports activities where advanced measurement technology, data processing, and specific algorithms can create significant benefits for active participants.
Marine Product Range
Suunto offers a wide selection of compass models with configurations to your specific requirements. You can find the right marine compass for your boat, be it for a modest dinghy or a sophisticated off-shore yacht from hand-bearing to the most sophisticated compasses available.
Research, Development & Innovation
Suunto's wide range of compasses is the subject of continuous research and development. Recently this R&D resulted in an innovation that will have a considerable impact on the design and use of compasses all over the world.
Lightweight
You save weight, making you quicker through the water. The elimination of wires in the mast not only reduces spar weight but also lowers the boats centre of gravity giving significant and immediate performance advantage.
Traditionally, the globe has been divided into five different balancing zones in which specific compasses functioned. However, as people travel more and more, the need for a compass with a greater geographical range has increased. Now, thanks to Suunto's new 'Two Zone System', when using a Suunto compass there are only two balancing zones to consider - the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. In practice, this means that a Suunto compass designed for the northern hemisphere will still work for a fair distance into the southern hemisphere and vice-versa.
