I would caution against simply shutting the Pi off via a power switch. They can and do scramble themselves if not shut down properly. It is my understanding that there are 2 pins on the GPIO that can be switched to create a proper shutdown command that will prevent a damaged Boot Operating system. If you google that, its something like that.

Taranto, I enjoyed watching your movies of the circumnavigation of the south island and cruising Stewart island and Fiordland. You have done some miles in that boat well done. I owned an Alan wright marauder 8.4 for a while. Very similar to the lotus 9.2. I cut the whole back end of it out, transformed the boat and gained so much more space. I left the rudder on the transom but had to cut it down and add a bit of carbon to stiffen it all up. I also rebushed the gudgeons with acetal tophat style bushes so the top acted like a washer. I have some photos somewhere.

Yep I started hearing that tale three or four weeks ago -some pointed questions reveal all made up, and started with an anti vaxxer

Use 1/2" bolts and put a little resin round them when fitting, two benefits take up any slack and isolate the stainless from the alli

Yes they are rolling out Corinthian yachting as the clubs aim -if that were true they would probably forget the cup and just support SSANZ

Pretty sure that's total bollocks

Having my Business partner and I just geting back in to sailing (with an IT support company between us) and working with Pi's for various commercial appications (Voip servers etc.), we are just now investigating this setup too. Spent this evenign trying to find suitable touch screens that run off HDMI and usb power. Likely just starting with running Navionics and a multi media function for entertainment but hoping to expand this as we learn the boat, sailing, our Raymarine sensors and so on. I look forward to your posts on the subject.

That Nelson based Lotus 9.2 mentioned above, seen at Stewart Island and sailing around the South Island in Feb-March 2017 was probably me!! What a buzz that was, both doing the circumnavigation and reading someone had noticed, years later! Cheers Wild Violet. I posted videos of it, search for Sailing Taranto in YouTube. I'll try to post a link to the playlist, but might get into trouble with the administrator here for trying, but here goes... https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ81Y1nsgnYWAEIIHrbYhEyI8Zc3I-d62
