What this video covers

The owner of the boat Nomad installs a single Raymarine multifunction display in the cockpit to monitor depth and speed.▶ 1:20 To mount the unit, the owner fabricates a custom starboard faceplate, utilising a chamfered edge cut by a professional at The Yacht Rigger to ensure a flush fit against the cockpit's aluminium structure.▶ 3:19 The installation uses standard hardware store screws concealed by plastic caps.▶ 3:46 While the owner initially planned for a complex suite of multiple chartplotters and displays, the current setup reflects a shift toward minimalism following personal life changes.▶ 4:19 The display currently provides depth and speed data, though the anemometer remains disconnected pending a future trip up the mast.▶ 5:06 The project serves as the vessel's first functional sailing electronic installation while the boat remains at the dock.▶ 7:12
