Leon Schulz separates helming from navigation to maintain focus on sail trim and course while keeping the navigator free from steering distractions.0:34 At the helm of his boat, Regina Laska, he prioritizes a large, high-quality compass for quick orientation and cardinal buoy identification.0:39 He installs a secondary VHF control unit at the helm to communicate directly with harbormasters during docking.1:21 For autopilot management, he uses a remote control that allows him to adjust steering from both the helm and the navigation station.1:46 Below deck, his navigation desk features TimeZero software integrated with Furuno radar.3:36 He maintains redundant communication systems, including a satellite phone and an SSB radio for long-range contact.3:43 For coastal planning in Brittany, he relies on the Channel Pilot by Tom Cunliffe and the Secret Anchorages of Brittany guide.4:30 His recent route included a passage from A Coruña across the Bay of Biscay, followed by coastal sailing through the Solent, Cherbourg, the Channel Islands, and along the northern and southern coasts of Brittany toward Santander.4:36
