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
