The link points to old logs from a family that did it for around 4 years. http://www.oceanpilot.com/outsideonline/950906.html There is detailed info in one of the logs about the equipment they used at the time. This logs talks about a guy that had an IBM mainframe in his boat. http://www.oceanpilot.com/outsideonline/960616.html pete wrote: Hi folks -- I make my living developing software and I would like to install a PC with fast Internet connectivity on a !~40'-LOA ketch. That way, I can (maybe) live aboard and still indulge my hobby and vocation. How stupid is this idea? Could it ever work? Thanks! -- Pete We have been living and cruising the Indian Ocean and Australia for 7 years. Have a laptop and desktop on board. The laptop is run via a switch mode power supply that generates up to 22V DC. No 240VAC whilst we are cruising and need the computer on for navigational purposes. Had a fire on board from 240V in storm conditions so will not use at sea. The desktop is for use in marinas etc via WiFi. Tony |

Take a look at the boatdesign.net WIKI at: http://www.boatdesign.net/wiki/Onboard_Computers There is on ongoing discussion started at: http://www.boatdesign.net/forums/showthread.php?t=19458 This is mostly aimed at cruising use, with good in-port and at-anchor capabilities. When you have some experience with broadband aboard, please drop in there and share what you've learned! Thanks... |
