As we near completion of our now 5+ year “Never Ending Project” of re-fitting our ‘73 Ericson 32-II. My son, an automotive engineer, had long since taken the lead with many overall upgrades and features.
This one tops the list as he moved our new instrumentation to the mast from the cabin bulkheads. This way, instruments are never covered by crew and easily seen by all.
I’ve come a LONG way since starting out cruising with but a simple tube stuck in the water to ascertain speed and a finger in the air for wind direction!! (All I could afford at 29 when buying the boat new.)
We’ve now got multi-purpose instruments that integrate and talk to each other, including the GPS and Auto-Pilot. ...I only hope I can figure all this out WITHOUT going back to college again!!! SHEESH!!!
I’m anxious to see how well this will work out and will keep all of you updated with the results.
