Navigation & Communications

The Nerve Center

Cruisers tend to go places where the average coastal cruisers just don’t go.

Anyone can buy an extensive array of today’s sophisticated equipment, but you still need a proper navigation station with enough room to install and service its components..

Blue water cruisers typically devote more serviceable space for electronics and communications equipment.

From VHF, to SSB, to satellite communications, to Direct TV, to internet, email and weather fax, the need for space is high. Don’t forget GPS, color chart plotters, radar, and perhaps forward looking sonar.

Even with all of the above, you still need room to spread-out a paper chart!

And yes, room to grow is equally important.
