Another reason why the Express loses...

The very nice C&C 32 nav station with hutch...

And the top of the nav station hutch is useful. Here's the radar, easily scene
from the cockpit portside, BTW. Also note the nice remote controlled stereo
installed flush beneath it. Under the hutch is white and red night lights.
Chart book is a easy fit.

So with your "easily seen" radar do you station someone down below and yell down "turn the sea
clutter knob to the left ... no, right ... no, not so much ... I meant the rain clutter .." The
only use for it there is to spot T-storms while you're at anchor.

Its good that you have a place for the chartkit below. You don't seem to use it in the cockpit.

I rarely sail alone and with that in mind, placing the radar below was a good
idea. Still, this may shock you, but I can lock the wheel and adjust the radar
quite easily. I can also change the CDs and heat up some tea, all with no one
at the wheel!
WOWZERS, Jeff!

Bwahahahahaha!

Don't let Shen or OTN hear you talking like that!

Its pretty clear that the radar would be useless to you in conditions where you might need it. Why
bother keeping it on board?

The boat came with two, one installed and the other NIB as a spare.

Chartkit in the cockpit? Do you need to constantly compare the chart with your
surroundings?
Gosh, you're really a beginner!

I'm not the one who whacked into a rock a mile from his slip, after being warned by his crew!
You've said several times that a compass and chart isn't really needed, but the evidence is that
you're the one who needs them the most!
