Choice and
innovation lead the way as Simrad IS20 instruments launch in Genoa
 The
Navico stand at Genoa Boat Show 2007 is the venue for the unveiling of a
brand new Simrad instrument family designed to offer performance and
flexibility for both sail and power boats. The Simrad IS20 range consists
four analog and two digital instrument heads, all based on the SimNet NMEA
2000 data bus for simple installation and integration.
Of the six
meticulously developed and engineered instruments in the range, the IS20
GRAPHIC places Simrad instruments firmly back at the forefront of
technology. Providing real-time graphical representation of instrument data,
the IS20 GRAPHIC enables skippers, navigators and cruisers alike to quickly
and easily visualise the incredibly accurate information from Simrad
sensors.
More than
this, the IS20 GRAPHIC is a multifunctional instrument that can shift
quickly between display styles giving the user a choice between large
digital data readouts that are easy to read for quick action, detailed multi
information readouts for careful planning and multiple data types on one
screen and unique precision graphical presentations that simplify the data
at hand. The IS20 GRAPHIC can also operate as a multifunction repeater for
other products via SimNet.
The IS20
COMBI, provides all the information you need so is perfect as a standalone
system or first step into the world of state-of-the-art electronics.
Equally, as it can be remotely controlled from an IS20 GRAPHIC, it makes the
ideal second instrument station, especially as it offers a variety of
digital data combinations: Speed, Depth and temperature, Depth, speed and
temperature combined and Trip log and passage time.
Despite
the innovation in new Simrad digital instruments, Compass, Rudder angle,
Wind direction and Tack are still best presented on an analog instrument.
IS20 Analog instruments feature clear easy to read needle pointers with
precise Micro Stepper-Motor technology along with highly advanced Kalman
stabilised wind data processing for superb accuracy. They provide
exceptionally precise instrument data in the classic format that all sailors
are familiar with, but also with a twist: All IS20 instruments have an
integral LCD screen to ensure that the data can never be misread, regardless
of conditions.
IS20
Analog instruments feature a new four button interface for simple operation
and selectable dusk and night-time backlighting that combine to make one of
the most user friendly, modern instruments systems ever devised. This
ensures that the exceptionally precise instrument data such as true and
apparent wind speed/angle, true wind direction, magnified wind angle,
compass heading and cross track error (XTE) is available and easy to take in
at all times.
Simrad
IS20 instruments are exceptionally easy to install, as no access to the
inside of a console, dashboard or mast is required. Integration and
connection to sensors is just as simple, as the Simrad Intelligent Marine
Network - SimNet - features plug and play operation and thin cables for easy
routing, so you'll be up and running in very little time. SimNet also
enables complete integration of the IS20 with other systems such as the new
Simrad AP24 and AP28 autopilots.
There is
an extensive range of active and passive transducers for the IS20 system,
all of which offer highly accurate measurements and excellent reliability.
The new SimNet single multi transducer provides speed, depth and temperature
all-in-one, making installation of the IS20 instrument system even easier.
The Simrad
IS20 Instrument system will be available in November and can be seen on the
Navico stand (Padiglione S 1° Galleria, Stand D46) at Genoa Boat Show 2007.
Premier Yacht Sales strength continues
Premier
Yacht Sales are pleased to announce a successful Southampton Boat Show with
a record number of deposits taken.
 Julian
Gowing, Premier Yacht Sales Managing Director said “We are very pleased with
how the show went. We took deposits for 21 elans which is an incredible
increase on the 6 boats sold from last years Southampton show. We look
forward to working on these deals and increasing the number of élans out
there next season.”
Premier
believe there is a number of reasons why sales were up so considerably
including the publicity around the brand. Many of the élan yachts have been
test sailed by journalists recently with glowing reports across the board
which is great for the brand. Premier also has the new Moody 45 being
launched at London and interest in this was great at the show along with
interest in the latest addition to the Premier group, the Island Packet
Yachts.
With 3
brand new models on display at Southampton and two more being launched at
London, Premier are bound to attract a lot of attention. Customers
interested in any of the models from Premier are encouraged to call to book
a test sail. The latest models are the Elan 410, Impression 514, and Island
Packet 465 all available for demo at Swanwick Marina. Premier are also keen
for customers interested in the Elan 450 to get in touch as there will be an
opportunity to sail the first boat in Croatia once she returns from her
European Boat Show tour.
