Leave a comment

In his latest video, Patrick explains how he navigated around the world with a sextant and a keel for a depthsounder on his Catalina 27. We then shows you what the marine electronics on Brick House started off with and now have evolved to. From Sextant….to Iridium GO! An old dog really CAN learn new tricks!

Make sure to watch this video and share with your younger sailing friends so they don’t forget how lucky they are these days!
