This is late notice (I was working on the race doc's), so please pass the word, call a couple folks and let's turn out for this great evening! and marine charts (BlueNav) for use with its consumer GPS receivers.

Then three SHTP veterans will each demonstrate his chosen navigation software - Greg Nelsen will show MacENC, including overlaying weather "GRIB" files on its high-resolution charts, Mark Deppe will demo MaxSea and how to use AirMail to format the GRIB file requests and ViewFax to check them, and Rob MacFarlane will show us Coastal Explorer, with some Hawaii charts and GRIB overlays. named after Ferdinand Magellan, the first explorer to circumnavigate the globe. He'll demonstrate how to test operations as you go through the installation, highlight common installation pitfalls, and end with demonstrating the operation of the SSB radio from the balcony of the Oakland Yacht Club. Brian has put together numerous SSB set-ups, including multiple PacCup Comm boats and our own "CopperTop" SSB rig, used during Tree times in Hanalei.
We have a full evening so I'll start with announcements at 1915.īrian Boschma will walk us through the construction of a SSB, with audience participation (he promises it will not involve songs!). Explorer electronic data is on various chart plotters, mobile devices/apps. You wouldn't want to find yourself without Explorer data when you get to the Bahamas. Usual times: 1900 to adjust attitudes and ratchet-jaw, the first presentation will start at 1930 sharp. If you have come to rely on the accuracy of Explorer charts, you will want to ensure that you have the best electronic chart data for your hardware as well. ** Monday, January 18th at the Oakland Yacht Club (Alameda) **
