I go sailing to enjoy "sailing" and see the scenery. Not to play with electronics.
Garmin GPSMAP 2006C and Autohelm ST4000+ is the limit of my electronics (beyond radio and the basics). Tells me everything I could possibly want to know and they are NOT linked. That's what gets you into BIG BIG trouble.
Stuck in the past ? Nope. Just not a sucker for useless electronic gadgets and I really do enjoy sailing.

Great minds think alike.
That setup got me from San Francisco to British Columbia. "Gee, sir, they said with tears in their eyes, How could you possibly go that far with such inferior instrumentation?!?" "I am a sailor, not a gadget geek," I replied.

Now that you mention it, that pretty well describes most of the people I see in our marina who are well loaded with electronics.
Last year we had a guy in a 40'+ gin mill plow into one of the pilings of our Second Narrows Bridge. The piling is the size of a tall building.
I wonder if that was his problem.
Couldn't be, naw...I'm sure the Second Narrows Bridge piling just jumped out and bit him!!!
He will, of course, tell his insurance company that it was an autopilot failure.
