Raymarine onboard

The full Raymarine electronics stack aboard Sophisticated Lady — what we run, why it’s there, and (soon) a verified schematic plus affiliate links for matching gear.

Intro

Raymarine is the boat’s navigation and awareness layer: chartplotting, radar, autopilot, AIS, and depth/speed sensing wired as one stack. This page will grow into a systems reference — components, purpose, wiring overview, and honest affiliate slots for gear that matches what we use.

Components

Component	Role	Status
MFD / chartplotter	Primary helm display & charting	confirm with Mateo
Radar	Weather / traffic awareness on SeaView tower	confirm with Mateo
Autopilot	Course keeping under sail / power	confirm with Mateo
AIS	Vessel identity & collision awareness	confirm with Mateo
Transducers	Depth / speed / temperature feeds	confirm with Mateo

Placeholder rows only — mark confirmed before publish.

Purpose of each

MFD / chartplotter — the glass helm: charts, overlays, and the hub for the network.
Radar — sees weather cells and traffic when eyes alone aren’t enough.
Autopilot — holds a course so the crew can handle sail, watch, or rest.
AIS — shows who’s out there and announces us.
Transducers — depth and speed into the same picture.

Copy is draft; tighten with Mateo’s model list.
