Have you made any progress on the NMEA to On-Board Computer connections yet? I have nothing to contribute, but was curious if you had learned anything there yet.
Yes on a Dutch website a found an adaptor to connect the VHF, and PC to a GPS receiver. http://www.pcnautic.nl/GPS-RS232-naar-NMEA-Adapter.html . Pewrhaps you can translate with Google translate.
Could not find something in English.
I would like to use the European ENC charts. For the USA you can use http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/mcd/enc/
And I use the Open CPN software http://opencpn.org/ocpn/

Construction is nearing its end. Time to clean up the workshop. I'm not an organized builder, but I can always find my way in the clutter. I'm going to miss the mess after building two and a half years.

That's a very fine looking vessel Allard. You've done a journeyman's job on her sir! Congratulations

If you really 'miss the mess' you're more than welcome to come and hang out in my boat shed anytime! :lol:

I'm working to install the last little things. Lamps in and outside the boat. Batteries installed and tested. It works.
Next week they will deliver the windows. And then she is ready for launching. Of course there are always things that need to be different or better. I will definitely forget something and only discover that when she is in the water. As long as it is above the waterline it will be no problem.
The big moment where I worked for is coming! The plan is that she enters the water in the last week of July.

We have a saying Allard; "The Devil is in the Details". I'm sure you'll find that out first hand! :wink:

I wish I could be there for your launch. Please have someone getting lots of pics or even video. :D

The ministry of decoration has done her job. She has the curtains and cushion covers sewn.

I love it, she has done a great job.

The pictures I have posted are probably the last of the boat in the workshop. The Launching is scheduled for July 24.
Yes, I'll take pictures if I do not forget it. I do not know how my mood is probably nervous and tense.
I have yet to find someone with a video camera. So I can upload a video.
