Urm.....
OK..... interesting responses....
It strikes me that most of the respondees are 'old salts' who have sailed for long enough to have terrorised the seven seas long before the advent of the dear old GPS, let alone the plotter..... I count myself amongst that group...
My concern is still for a while in the future, and that is when the 'average owner' (whatever that is) has never experienced sailing without electronics, and for whom DR and EP's are just something that was experienced in a classroom 20years ago, and have never been used in anger.....
But it is still interesting that a substantial percentage of people on here are sufficiently attached to electronic navigation that they have extensive redundancy..... hard to argue as a bad thing, but perhaps worrying for a future sailing generation.....
