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 .."

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!

You don't seem to use it in the cockpit.

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

RB

LOL................ You make yourself look worse everytime you touch the
keyboard. The Express 30 happens to have a nav station with a "hutch" also.

Not the one I was aboard, and never one pictured anywhere here.
Loco, you're just talking while I actually back up what I say.
Do you even have a boat? Of course...who'd lie about having an obscure dated
racer like an Express!?

Bwahahahahaha!

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!

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?

I'll have you know I was less than 1/2 a mile from the slip!

It's pretty!


RB

looks small, cramped, and was too techie for being
useful.

Another reason why the Express loses...

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

Now that's a performance stereo!

Note the hand holds, very strong metal fittings, on almost all the
furniture
ends. Don't see that on the Express!

What's the line running around the bow?

And the smoother, softer more nautical lines of the C&C 32 end any real
debate.
It's better looking than the Express.
