Velocitek Speedpuck
If you’re into your racing, the benefits of an accurate speedometer are probably already fairly obvious to you. The Velocitek Speedpuck is a one piece speedo which provides you with accurate speed data provided by GPS signals.
This new and upgraded version of the Velocitek Speedpuck released in 2022 has enhanced features including a 30 hour battery and a faster, more accurate GPS module.
The SpeedPuck is a simple GPS speedometer initially created for sailing but can be used in any sport or situation where you want to see your speed easily.

Big Numbers
The SpeedPuck has big numbers that are easy to read.
Instant Installation
The award-winning SpeedPuck is completely self-contained and can be installed in seconds, without tools.
Easy to Read Screen
The SpeedPuck’s sunlight-readable, high-contrast LCD screen features 27mm (1.1”) tall digits in a font that’s optimized for readability. This means that if your boat is under 40ft long you’ll be able to mount the SpeedPuck on your mast and read it easily from anywhere in the cockpit, even if you don’t have perfect vision.
Accuracy and Live Updates
Instead of using a paddlewheel, the SpeedPuck calculates your speed by measuring the Doppler shift in GPS signals to provide you with an updated reading four times a second. The SpeedPuck never needs to be calibrated and maintains uniform accuracy at all speeds.
A less than half-knot change in boat speed doesn’t feel like much and that’s a problem. The SpeedPuck gives you a new speed measurement four times a second! If you wander into adverse current or your crew on the rail start slacking, the SpeedPuck will tell you right away.
The SpeedPuck uses the same GPS technology as the Velocitek ProStart, which is used by all America’s Cup World Series teams.
Easy to Use
No need to read the instructions or manual, the Speedpuck is designed so anyone can figure out and start using it in a few minutes, leading to more time on the water.
Waterproof
The SpeedPuck is designed for long-term reliability in a saltwater marine environment. Its case back screws off like the lid of a leak-proof water bottle to reveal the watertight USB port cover.
The SpeedPuck’s USB port is also sealed off from the rest of the device’s electronics, providing second and third layers of protection against moisture.
Built In Rechargeable Battery
A rechargeable 30-hour Li-Ion battery gives you a weekend’s worth of battery life on a single charge.
