B&G, formerly known as Brookes and Gatehouse, is a developer and manufacturer of instrumentation, autopilot and navigation systems for racing and cruising sailing yachts.
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.
Over the course of the 1950s, B&G, then based in Lymington, extended its activities into echo sounders and in 1960 produced its first speedometer.
The company has changed hands a number of times during and is now a brand of Navico, a Norwegian-based company in the marine electronics sector.
B&G is primarily known for producing sailing instrumentation systems that collect and analyse data relating both to a yacht's performance and the external conditions in which it is sailing. T
Alongside instrumentation, B&G also designs and manufactures autopilots for sailing yachts.
In 2010 B&G re-entered the navigation market with their Zeus range of multi-function displays.
