[Rhodes22-list] Cockpit instrumentation

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

It depends on where you sail and how far you travel. For primarily day sailing in somewhat protected water (Lake Ontario) I have managed fine with a compass. A knot log , speed and wind direction instrumentation, which I also have is fun and helps you sail a bit better but not necessary. A VHF radio is a good precaution particularly if you sail beyond the range of your cell phone. For long sails and particularly overnight sailing an auto-helm is almost essential.

For what it is worth...

Hi all,

    I’m new to the Rhodes 22 family and would like to hear your views on what instrumentation you think is necessary or helpful in the cockpit.  I have a Garmin chart plotter, so curious to hear your thoughts.  Thanks, Bob Allen __________________________________________________
