| Prudent Navigation
I agree with 2 hulls. I have 2 laptops and I don't use them for navigation only for route planning.
Call me a Luddite, but I feel uncomfortable having all that technology directing my boat. It may lull a skipper into a false sense of security.Yes, I have a chart plotter, but it does not direct the autopilot, although it could. I feel more comfortable inputing the information to the autopilot and using other methods of navigation as well. My hand bearing compass and paper charts are at hand even though I do not use them as much as I use to.
A prudent navigator will use all methods available to him. Now I'll get off my soapbox.
