There was an ealier discussion within the Jester community on the best source for a viewing dome...... Would anybody agree with me that this has it's restrictions in that there is miniumum visability from within the cabin given the low height... and a better modern day equivalent would be a weatherproof (IP65) CCTV camera (they can have a 18- - 270 degree vision so you may want two or a motor for rotation) at spreaders or mastheight giving you better visability ? You would not have it on all the time and it would be linked up to your PC/LCD setup (my Jester entry is not going to be low tech) and I have a windvane and solar panel to keep the batteries toppied up (which is nt against the spirit of the Challenge.... the spirit is to get to the starting line and do it single handed without assistance)
This is a practical solution as I know of one Contessa 26 which crossed the Atlantic had such a system.
Any thoughts ?
