Cyclops Marine

Cyclops designs, manufactures, installs, and operates load measurement systems tailored to the yachting sector. Developed in collaboration with Cambridge University engineers, the technology converts physical rig and line tension into real-time digital telemetry. The system architecture encompasses wireless load sensors, dedicated onboard software, gateway connectivity modules, and hardware accessories to monitor structural loads across diverse sailing platforms.

The product lineup addresses performance racing, cruising, and superyacht applications. For racing yachts ranging from dinghies and foiling craft to grand prix entry boats, these sensors provide live feedback to repeat optimal sail trim and rig settings. Cruising configurations for monohulls and multihulls supply continuous load visibility to prevent structural overload and protect rig components. For superyachts, specialized instruments handle load monitoring across towing lines, rig stays, and hydraulic systems.

Software integration forms a core part of the system, exemplified by the Smart Rig Manager platform. This software processes raw sensor data into actionable metrics displayed directly on existing marine multi-function displays (MFDs). The interface delivers digital dock tuning presets, live sailing guidance, and post-sail performance analysis. Charter fleet operators utilize these digital tools to monitor rig usage and maintain consistent setup parameters across multiple vessels.

Hardware options include load pins, smart button sensors, and wireless rig monitoring fittings engineered to interface directly with existing deck gear and standing rigging. Dedicated towing load measurement solutions provide continuous tension readings on tender towlines, giving crews immediate status indicators regarding tender stability and safety during transit.
