B&G, formerly known as Brookes and Gatehouse, is a developer and manufacturer of advanced instrumentation systems for racing and cruising sailing yachts.

Its equipment can be found on many of the world's leading sail racing yachts, including the majority of competitors for competitions such as the America's Cup and the Volvo Ocean Race.

History[edit]

B Of A

The company was founded in 1956 by Major R.N. Gatehouse and Ronald Brookes who had formed a partnership the previous year to develop and manufacture a new radio direction finder (RDF) for use by private sailing boats. In 1956 the 'Homer' receiver was produced, said to be the first transistorised RDF to be made available to the world's leisure marine market.

Over the course of the 1950s, B&G, then based in Lymington on the south coast of England, extended its activities into echo sounders and in 1960 produced its first speedometer. In 1966 the ketchGypsy Moth IV, the yacht which earned Sir Francis Chichester his single-handed circumnavigation record, was equipped with a full suite of B&G instruments.

In the 1970s and 1980s the company continued to rapidly innovate, receiving in 1981 a Design Council Award for its Hercules electronic data system, which effectively introduced computers to leisure boating, and continues to do so to this day, remaining the market leader in advanced instrumentation systems for grand prix racing yachts and sailing superyachts, as well as for club racers and blue water cruising yachts.

The company has changed hands a number of times during its lifetime, and is now a brand of Navico, the Norwegian based leader in the marine electronics sector. B&G however remains headquartered just a few miles from its birthplace, in Hampshire, UK.

As of 2013, B&G Production has moved to Mexico and the Romsey production facility has closed.^{[citation needed]}

Products[edit]

B&G is primarily know for producing integrated sailing instrumentation systems that collect and analyse a wide range of data relating both to a yacht's performance and the external conditions in which it is sailing. This information can then be displayed to the helmsman, navigator and crew and/or analysed by integral data processing functions to produce additional information flows that enable the yacht's crew to make informed decisions with regard to performance optimisation, navigation strategy, safety and tactics.

Data that is collected may include apparent wind speed, apparent wind angle, boat speed, heading, position (Latitude/Longitude) and depth. By combining and analysing these inputs a B&G system can calculate and display in real time information such as true wind speed, true wind direction, course over ground, Velocity made good, time and distance to next waypoint, and much more. This data can additionally be fed into tactical navigation software such as B&G's proprietary Deckman system and analysed against tidal and current databases, electronic charting and weather prediction feeds to enable the navigator to devise the fastest and most efficient route between two or more points. This information can also be fed into autopilot systems.

Alongside instrumentation, B&G also designs and manufactures autopilots for sailing yachts. Their autopilots have been used by many short-handed racers, including Dame Ellen MacArthur (during her single-handed circumnavigation race on Kingfisher in the 2000-01 Vendée Globe and her outright single-handed circumnavigation record on Castorama/B&Q),François Gabart (winner of the 2012 Vendée Globe on the IMOCA 60Macif), Armel Le Cléac'h (1st Vendée Globe 2016, 2nd Vendée Globe 2012 - IMOCA 60, Banque Populaire) and Alex Thomson (2nd Vendée Globe 2016, 3rd Vendée Globe 2012 - IMOCA 60, Hugo Boss).
