Re: Windsreen replacement
Hi Paul. Please let us know how it turns out. That is a good price. We will be down that way at the end of the season.

Re: Amel's suggestion to run the Volvo D3-110 (A54) daily while on passage
When we crossed the Atlantic we ran the genset four hours a day and it was always rolling. Did not experience any problems.

Re: Too many VHF aerials?
Thank you for all your replies. My plan is to make sure I know what I have and what I need. A photo of the top of the mizzen is attached, this shows what is labelled as 1. Emergency VHF on top,

Re: Too many VHF aerials?
Mark,
I have an emergency aerial just in case I lose both masts.
The main mast carries the VHF and the Mizzen the AIS. These are interchangeable with either the radio or the transponder.

Replacement Corian for SM2K dishwasher lid
Last season, the Aurora pattern Corian on the dishwasher lid broke. I've found someone who can make a replacement. I have the dimensions (43.7cm square) with screw holes centered 3.3cm from each

Re: Too many VHF aerials?
I haven’t used the Raymarine system with AIS but I believe that your AIS already has all the information to show the details on the targets but keeps them hidden to reduce clutter.

Re: Too many VHF aerials?

That was a great post, Brent.
Tom, to answer your question, the AIS messages are packets, but they're not as compact as you're envisioning. The transmission speed is slow enough that the designers

There are a bunch of issues here and far too many to respond to each email sent individually so I’ll try to put down some basic principles and hopefully all will become clear.

Re: Too many VHF aerials?
Yes it can be an issue
See : https://www.seamagazine.com/importance-antenna-placement/
We use a splitter on our main mast VHF antenna for Ais and Fixed mount VHF. It works very well...and better IMO
