Another representative, from Brookes & Gatehouse electronics, will be discussing the attributes of a modern instrumentation system, emphasising how data is derived, the importance of calibration, and giving some in-depth information on how to make the most of instrumentation, tactical and navigation software, for both the cruising, and racing sailor.
