    Anyone have a copy of Raymarine Lighthouse 4.5.84?

    From their website, I will ask a friend who works for RM why this has been done. Possibly risk of legal consequences (catching drone from moving platform, overflying superyachts...) BUNDLE RELEASE DATE FEATURES LH4.6.74 February 2024 New Features YouTube app & YouTube TV now available...

    Corroded Saildrive Seacock

    There is an option 4 which if done well involves no prayer or PTFE tape/sealant and is much cheaper than a new saildrive. Plug the damaged hole in the saildrive and cut a new through hull hole for a new DZR or plastic seacock.

    ( more ) bloody electrics ( for amateurs )

    The function you are looking for is the Ruler. It is described on page 84 of the manual at the link above. It is not as instinctive as the software on the Navionics phone app but it does the same thing.

    Raymarine Element 9S and Navionics

    Details on connecting mobile devices are in the Lighthouse (Operating System) manual. I found them on page 44. You can set the passphrase yourself.

    Too quick to post, Trident Marine also made a Voyager, Warrior and Challenger on a 30ft hull. Trident Voyager 30 archive details - Yachtsnet Ltd. online UK yacht brokers - yacht brokerage and boat sales This maybe your version as the actual length overall was nearer 32ft.

    Hi Antuk, I have a Trident Voyager 40. Made by Trident who were based at Portchester. I thought they only came as 40ft or 35ft versions? Trident also made Warriors, again I think only in 40ft or 35ft versions. if you are able to post a picture we should be able to tell as Trident yachts are...

    Probability of being in a Cocked Hat

    At the risk of receiving abuse from the esteemed mathematicians and statisticians who have contributed at length to this thread... As a YM(Ocean) who lives in Gosport, the probability of me being found inside the Cocked Hat is much higher on a Friday or Saturday night, especially since Boris...

    PC question

    Been a while since I played with PC Plotter but NavmonPC allows you to set up a Virtual Serial Port (up to 3, I think). You then point PC Plotter to the Virtual Serial Port and NavmonPC sends all or some of the NMEA data from the physical Serial COM port to the Virtual Serial Port where PC...

    Portsmouth (uk) Inner Swashway Local Knowledge

    Similar to @capnsensible and @Aardee with their makeshift tide gauge at the harbour entrance, when approaching the Inner Swashway from the Gillkicker end, I use the sewage outflow pipe support structure by Fort Monckton to know if there is enough water for my 1.6m draft. Of course, lockdown has...

    Chart Abbreviations

    Although a paper copy of the Chart 5011 guide is always useful, I also use the Imray Marine Chart Symbols App. Well laid out, either by section or alphabetically, searchable, and with a useful visual guide to the most frequently encountered symbols.

    trident owners club

    Hi Antuk, I tried the same when I bought my Trident Voyager 40 some years ago. Although they are great vessels, with mostly customer-specified interiors (possibly why they went bust), there is no Owners Club or online presence I am aware of. Although mine is the Voyager 40, I may be able to...

    Colin Mudie - RIP

    Sad news to report - one of the "greats" of yacht design particularly square-rig ships, Colin Mudie crossed the bar this week. We in the Sea Cadets know him as the inspiration for our flagship brig TS Royalist. Thoughts are with his family at this time...

    -= Please advise on new ship...

    You will need a way to stop the boom lifting if the vang fails. This picture shows a temporary solution which would only need 5 of your girlfriends. You can see there is still room for a sixth girlfriend on deck. In fact, why don’t you just spend time on Monster_Rib which seems to cater for...
