Bridge layout & equipment

We’d like to create a bridge with a smart layout that’s easy to move around and has all the necessary equipment without overdoing it. Not a bridge for the magazines or to show of to people who have no clue about the subject but a bridge that’s also great to work on at night crossing the English Channel.

So captains, mates and other navigators, please share your thoughts and your experiences to guide us in the right direction for a bridge on this go-anywhere expedition yacht.

What would you like to see? Which (additional) equipment do you like and why? What’s your favorite radar, electronic chart system and radio brand and why? What were the 5 most annoying things you encountered on a bridge? What did you like most of a bridge you worked on? Just through it all out. And if you have pictures of bridges you’l like to share, please send them to thorwald @ expedition yacht . org
