Re: Raymarine Axiom

Based on this page (https://www.raymarine.com/marine-charts/), it looks like C-Maps won't work with the new Axiom CP's. Looks like Navionics charts lose some functionality as well.

Re: New Zinc Air Battery Tech.... looking good?

Very interesting. It sounds like it is still years away from being available for use on a boat, but the fact that the technology has been field tested extensively is encouraging. I didn't see any...

Re: New Excess Catamaran Brand

I think your "rant" is right on point Lee. One of the reasons we were drawn to the 1160 Lite was the price point. Even thought FP calls the Lucia a 40, it really is just 38' and change - not any...

Re: New Excess Catamaran Brand

I grabbed this from a frame in the site video - it looks like the boats will have lines similar to the Lagoon. I wonder if they will be sharing hulls and just updating rigs/fixtures in order to save...

Re: Cruising Cat advice for a novice family of 8?

I believe the biggest multihull show in Europe (maybe anywhere?) is La Grande Motte, in April. They bill it as the International Multihull show. If you don't want to wait until next year, the fall...

Re: Chart Sticker Shock 2018

Staples.com offers blueprint printing service. 36 x 48 is $7.29 for BW and $11.89 for color print on standard paper. Free NOAA PDF charts and the printing service is a pretty reasonable option imho.

Re: NMEA 2000 - Micro or Mini?

Based on Skip A's note, and a look at my Zeus 2 docs, it is certainly not LEN 1.

I guess the data on the NMEA site isn't fully vetted, so it may be a good start, but not an authoritative source.

Re: NMEA 2000 - Micro or Mini?

You can use this NMEA link (https://www.nmea.org/content/nmea_standards/certified_produ.asp) to look up LEN information.

Looks like the plotter is LEN 1.
