Filed under: Electronics — Leave a comment
March 27, 2013

During many years of battling with a vast range of on-board electronics we have devised a system to turn a laptop into a full chart plotter and AIS receiver all displayed on one screen. The system has no hard wiring and is fully portable. We also provide remote online technical support. For prices and availability please contact Sailcraft.
