Went to the boat anyway to do some small stuff here and there. Landed the liferaft as it is bit of an overkill in these waters, also the fractional S2 Spinnaker got a ticket to the storage..
Installed a bracket for the B&G V50 VHF wireless handset, H50. The bracket outside does not have inductive charging, that will be still done by the chart table. Battery life is 8+ hours so it is not a problem. Volume from the handset is surprisingly good.
B&G came out with an update for the Zeus2's. Installed it today. Main update/feature is the race panel and possibility to control H5000 CPU setting and Race Timer from the Zeus2.
The race panel and it's "zero burn" line seem like a good one for those starts where Expedition is not used. Below a video from "Start Line" screen and the virtual zero burn line moving towards the pinged line according to polar speed.
Tomorrow there is a boat show here in Helsinki, Uiva 2015, I think I go and take alook. They have the new Grand Soleil 39 in the water. Interesting to see how things have changed in 10 years:)
