looking at the mona lisa in the louvre or looking at the mona lisa on a electronic screen is the same. right, there it is, same smile.
navigating electronically is just the same as navigating on paper. no difference. so in a classroom setting you will need a screen for each student, and the electric outlet for each student. and then pay the bill for the electricity the class consumed.
looking at the mona lisa in the louvre you can share with your family and friends. looking at the mona lisa on the little screens we use to navigate our yachts with the view to share , well, not so much.
the cost to get screens on these yachts is huge. the cost to have screens for each person on a yacht with family and friends , your crew is beyond what you all prolly willing to pay.
if the captain of his or her yacht wants to share the navigating with the crew, if the same captain wants to educate his crew on the skills of navigating, paper is cheep. real cheep!
no extra batteries, on wiring, no muiltible screens, no interfacing.
electronic nav toys are very expensive to buy and maintain in the salt air.
paper is cheap. easy to use, easy to teach with. a look out is cheap, if they brought their own beer. if you sail shorthanded and your really rich then go buy all these toys and install them and the extra powering systems to make them work.
now, lets talk sails. brand new, high tech, well shaped sails. ............
i suggest that you don't spend $0.10 more on electronics until you have fitted out the boat with fresh sails. sails are what sailboats are all about.
