Official start date Hi, Has an official start date for the JAC 2012 been announced? Ant

Am coming to the end of my first season since fitting my ST40 wind. On the whole I am very pleased with it. I was advised by a Raymarine dealer that it was not suitable for yachts only powerboats though as it did not have close hauled indication. Anyway it's been fine for me. The rotor vector...

Yes, but am sailing a First 211 out here.

Thats what I thought but a search on the net find no hints at a replacement for the two you mentioned. An update in the same light as the First 30 would be very interesting.

Anyone got a clue when the small benenteau range is due for an update or replacement? I thought I read somewhere that the state of the economy was encouraging them to bring out some new small sub 30 footers.

Out in Germany I had to produce the certificate of compliance for registration to use the inland waterways. Oh the fun I had turning each page in the documentation ( all in French) and saying " is it this?". As the Frau in the office "was not allowed to look through and had to be presented with...

Hi, Am I right in thinking the Spring 25 was built by another company after MG/Northshore gave up? Was it always made as a Spring or did it get a name change?

Hi, that's true but can you see a Pogo being comfortable? Very clear, it's just like teachers, teaching to the tests.

Evening All, A pub argument that I would like your thoughts on. " A Beneteau First 211 is similar in hull shape(though not as wide at the stern or as deep a keel) as a mini transat boat. Minis are built to cross the Atlantic yet the First is RCD Class C. Could (note: not should) an unsinkable...

Daisy chain it is then Thanks folks. Will get a couple of connecter blocks and cables. Will look at making them up.

Hi, I have three Raymarine ST40 instruments which are all currently independent and I want to connect 'um together with the possibility of adding a tillerpilot soon and a C-Series display later (next year-ish). What's the best way of doing this? Should I just daisy-chain them together with 3...
