Hello,


what input do you put in a debrief as a navigator and what is your workflow?


Thanks

Hi,

that helps a lot, thank you very much.

Most of the time I do coastal and offshore races. So in case you have any special hints for that, I'm happy to read.


Thanks


Roadbook

Hello,

I've done a few races as a navigator. But I think my preparation could be better.

Does anyone have a sample of a roadbook for an offshore race? What to include, what is too much.

The boat is a GP42


Thanks and cheers.

Mark's iist is about right, if pretty overwhelming and one helluva big bite at one gulp, especially on a new ship and/or with a new crew. Look around the crew for support with some of the less core items - where core is determined by your boat, owners, raceing, crew and priorities. Can someone else take on the NOR and SIs etc? Someone else can do the watches, just don't be on one. Can instrument recalibration, polars, crossovers wait until your 4th or 6th outing, when you'll know how good or bad it is ..... crew will tell you willingly enough if they think it is shit. Break the elephant into lumps you - and your crew - can chew on.

'Foggy' 20/20 displays

Lateral subject at best.

Any recommendations on how to remove the 20/20's from the bracket (getting the bezel off in particular), disconnecting the cables, drying out the displays and sealing them up to prevent reoccurrence.

Many thanks!


Radars & integration

Hi all, great that we can get this forum started, great stuff already in here. Thought I'd drop an easy question to get it going. What's everyone's experience with radar brands and how is everyone using them ( overlay on nav. software (expedition), chartplotters, apps on tablets)? Thoughts on power consumption vs benefits?


Thanks
