Many things have happened since selling my 48ft ketch that was my home for 7 years. I moved back to Montreal (QC) and decided to go back to university. I am in the process of finishing my MBA and instead of a thesis I was granted the opportunity of doing a research project. Because of my love of the cruising life and my every intention of going back to it, I have decided to study the impact of the new technologies on the current cruiser. Have the existing cruisers adapted to the new IT’s? Has it made your lives easier or more complicated? Is there a new breed of cruisers that have joined our ranks because of these technologies? I would be very interested in getting your opinions. I have a small survey that can be found at http://www.surveyconsole.com/console/TakeSurvey?id=84046
