Anyone still using a Yeoman plotter is welcome to mine

[A771CUS]

I have stopped sailing but still have a Yeoman Plotter Sport complete with the "mouse" and a power/data cable, but without the aerial. I don't know if it still works (it will certainly need a new battery) but it did when I last used it some years ago and has been kept indoors since. If anyone wants it, they are welcome to have it free of charge and just pay for the postage, or it can be collected from me near Gatwick Airport. If not - its off to the tip with it!

Yes please, can I PM you later tonight with details

 

[A771CUS]

Yes, that's fine.

Apologies, I dont seem to be able to pm you, could possibly be due to your message count. If you could send contact details to randsscreenprints@outlok.com I will get back to you.
Many Thanks
Richard

There's another one here for anyone who is interested.
Has old Philips GPS and vintage GPS aerial. All the documents and circuit diagrams.
System cost £4k when previous owner installed it.

Do you mean you have a Yeoman plotter as well as the other bits? If so I would like it please. Can't find how to send PM's on the new system.
Thanks,
PC

Is yours a sport or the chart table one??

Gwylan seems to have nipped out for a smoke!

I, too, have a Yeoman Sport (and a Phillips AP4 Navigator GPS) that anyone is welcome to have for the cost of postage.

The front and top edge of the Yeoman is somewhat UV damaged (it lived on a nav table under a lot of windows in a motor sailer wheelhouse). As a result (a) the binding around the edge has come partly adrift, but could be glued back in place (or replaced with gaffa tape); (b) the surface fabric on the top edge is frayed; and (c) the clear plastic sleeve for the chart is not very clear, but useable (this sleeve could easily be replaced using sprayhood window material, available in various thicknesses from sailmakers or their suppliers). I believe it to be working as it was still in place and plugged in when I acquired the boat from the deceased previous owner, but didn't think to check it before I changed the connections at the other end of the cables to fit a plotter I already owned.

I did switch on the Phillips GPS, though, and this gave a position but the incorrect date. I did investigate this briefly at the time through previous YBW threads, and vaguely recall that replacing the internal back-up battery might solve the date issue.

PM me if you're interested.
