Raymarine onboard
The full Raymarine electronics stack aboard Sophisticated Lady — what we run and why it’s there.
Intro
Raymarine is the boat’s navigation and awareness layer: chartplotting, radar, autopilot, AIS, and depth/speed sensing wired as one stack.
Components
| Component | Role | On board |
|---|---|---|
| MFD / chartplotter | Primary helm display & charting | Axiom 9 RV, Axiom Plus 9 (×2), Axiom Plus 12 |
| Radar | Weather / traffic awareness on SeaView tower | Raymarine Quantum 2 Doppler |
| AIS | Vessel identity & collision awareness | ICOM MA-510TR |
| VHF | Ship-to-ship & ship-to-shore radio at the nav station | ICOM IC-M510 |
| Autopilot | Course keeping under sail / power | Raymarine · 3× p70s controllers · Type II 12V linear drive · ACU400 |
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 — Raymarine, with three p70s controllers around the boat, a Type II 12V linear drive and an ACU400 control unit. 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.
