The EV-200 Sail paired with an Octopus 1212LAM12 hydraulic linear drive would
be my choice. The Defender pricing is pretty stunning — lower than my dealer

Agreed — rule of thumb is to size the autopilot so that its rating is at least
1-1/2 times the displacement of the vessel; Raymarine says to add 20%, but
that’s not conservative enough in my opinion. So for a LF38 at a published

Yeah, but not much to add; she already has a windlass, lots of electronics, and the most important thing: the Dickinson propane fireplace! :^)Interesting that he mounted that on the forward head bulkhead, rather than the forward saloon bulkhead. I hadn't thought of putting it there. Mine is forw
Well it's obvious that SOMEBODY has been practicing -- it's been snowing like a

I'm sick of winter -- you guys can stop practicing now… :^)

now (teaching at the high school where Lynyrd Skynyrd started…), and I get down
to visit from time to time; the last time was the Jimmy Buffet concert at the
beginning of February. I'll have to look you up.

Agreed -- but when I left the house this morning, it was -2F and we've had at
least eight inches of new snow in the last week. As my boat is about 200 miles
NORTH of here, it'll be a while before I get to open her up...

Yeah, pretty much (the Bayfield season really kicks in around the Fourth of
July) -- and Lake Superior never really warms up all that much. So we pack a
lot into a very short season. September is usually pretty nice, and even early
October can be good. But if you haven't hauled by Halloween,
Class A is generally considered only to be for commercial vessels; Class B was
designed for vessels not required to have Class A, namely recreational vessels.
You could easily drop $3k for a good Class A unit; I'd rather spend $600 on a
Class B.

Even in deep water, I'd be worried about the refraction/reflection effects in
an enclosed body of water like the Chesapeake; the weird wave patterns could be
quite severe.

Go for the Si-Tex -- it has both versions of NMEA (0183 and 2k), as well as USB
for the laptop. Their VHF splitter would be a good add-on, as well.

Up here in northern Minnesota/Wisconsin (almost Canada…), being on the hard is
an annual event as the water freezes solid. Here's a satellite picture of Lake
Superior from almost exactly four years ago -- the area I primarily sail is the
