Hi russ,
Yea I did read about standard horizon during my research on chartplotters ann
there was a lot of negativity in regard to their customer service. IIRC, the
general consensus was, standard horizon had pretty good stuff but lacked in
support.
Sorry to hear of your trouble with them.
I think the slagging of Raymarine pilots is unwarranted. I've got a
Raymarine Linear Drive (the big one) and X30 corepack on Bojangles and
it works perfectly.
We just did 410 miles from Grenada to BVI - with moderate quartering
seas - and the pilot drove the whole way with ZERO cross track
Thanks to those that responded. I’m now convinced I want an AIS. The problem
is which one. It will be connected directly to the pc chart plotter. The
Raymarine, Garmin and SiTex (new to me) all look promising.

Sorry for the loss of your CC 30. My heart goes out to you.
I live in Beaufort SC so it would be a long hall for me to Ohio. If
you would be willing to part with the main and the sail cover. I could
give you $100. bucks to ship it to me. and I would pay for shipping of

Ha!
Alright. I get it!
Thanks everyone for all the info on the boat. I will initiate
discussions with the broker.
Given the few problems visible in the pictures and the comments from
listers I'll likely make a lower offer. See what happens.

Mike,
Did you want a transponder or just a receiver? If just a receiver, consider a
VHF radio with AIS. I have a one interfaced with my chart plotter.
Also having an AIS can give a false sense of security. Not all vessels have
AIS.

I developed a crack in one of my rain barrels - tried Gflex and it didn't
stick. Ended up with some weather-stripping and a piece of aluminum bolted
through the barrel.
Anyone know what material a 30-1 forward tank is made of? Mine has a crack in
the seam at the lowest part of the tank.
On the Chesapeake most private vessels to do NOT have AIS. There is enough
commercial traffic to make it useful.
I ordered the SiTex transponder and splitter over the weekend. More wires

Chris,
Marine Traffic depends on volunteers to relay data. They say there can be
a lag of up to one hour. While it was pretty accurate on the Chesapeake
last summer when I played with it and great for keeping track of a ship, I
would not want to rely on it for navigation.

Joel, I knew about the time lag, but wasn't aware of the voluntary nature of

That makes sense, yes. Simrad has a new VHF/AIS receiver as well. Still
waiting on the transponder, as you suggest. I already have a radio I bought

It says the output to chartplotters is RS-422, is that the carrier for
NMEA0183? Otherwise, I like the dual band receiver and built in spltter.
Unfortunately, I need NMEA2000 to talk to my chartplotter so I don't think it
would work for my setup.

Go for the Si-Tex -- it has both versions of NMEA (0183 and 2k), as well as USB

I have very little experience with spinnakers.
How does one fly a spinnaker from the masthead of a fractionally rigged

Typically the spinnaker would also be fractional, with the spin halyard(s)
exiting the mast just above the forestay, but there are masthead spins on
some fractionally rigged boats (with the same options for internal /
external halyards as on a regular masthead boat). Some boats come with

I located the fluxgate in the aft portion of the quarterberth. There aren’t

If I remember right the fluxgate is supposed to be mid-ships, but that
