As we do every year, we wandered with a curious eye among the booths and pavilions of boat shows, but also among the docks of Mediterranean marinas, looking for new accessories to install or keep on the boat. Regarding one of the aspects most prone to obsolescence in boating, namely electronics, we tell you about four new products you can install to freshen up your boat. From navigation solutions (such as chartplotters and processors) to safety solutions (such as epirb and radar).
Tools and electronics. Alpha – Raymarine
Alpha’s new range of 7- and 9-inch remote displays can be mounted horizontally or vertically, in the bridge or on the mast. The tool is designed specifically for racers, with specific functions to enhance performance.
EPIRB1 Manual – Ocean Signal
Category 1 EPIRB that is very easy to activate when needed. Manual activation system prevents accidentally turning on, with a protective cover over the button. It guarantees more than 48 hours of operation.
Hercules – B&G
At the heart of the Hercules navigation system is an ultrafast quad-core processor that enables it to process a very large amount of information and offer an accurate navigation dataset. For those who race there is also an advanced version, the Hercules WTP.
Tools and electronics. Radar Radome Fantom – Garmin
This magnetron-technology radar is available in 18- or 24-inch sizes, weighing no more than 1 7 kg, and allows sharp scanning of the surrounding area with a range of 48 miles. The rotation speed reaches 60 revolutions per minute.
