As my restoration of Sólmara continues, my thoughts have turned to equipping her with simple and reliable kit to make coastal cruising safe and pleasurable.
Knowing where you are plays a big part in that.
To that end I bought a robust Samsung tablet preinstalled with the Marine Navigator app. It was supplied by London Chartplotters
I shan't go into detail here, but suffice it to say that I received some excellent service. The owner, Steve Davis is a sailor and the last independent supplier in this niche. It's not the first time I've bought from him, and it won't be the last.
If you're in the market for an electronic nav solution or AIS I'd recommend getting in touch.
