I would like some advice on what type of GPS Handheld to buy for
navigational use for my sailboat. I plan to do some cruising to long
island sound, block island, up the hudson etc. Any suggestions would
be appreciated.

Thanks - Al

Sounds like you have a decent sized sailboat.
What about a chart plotter?

If your boat was under 20 feet I'd get something like the Garmin GPSMap
60Cx.
You just missed a $50.00 rebate on that model.
