    Hi, what you need is seacharts and a compass. What else do you have in mind that is not included in a yacht this size?

    Nobeltec Admiral is a user friendly full feature system that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It's a Jeppessen product, so it's well supported. You don't need full ECDIS, so it'll work just fine for you.

    I would go with nobletec, for both the lower and upper stations based on a PC. Then in addition to that I would have a Furuno RD30 (basic gps) as well as Furuno Navnet systems at both the upper and lower stations for fishfinder(depth), GPS, camera's and radar. Simrad for autopilot. And a FLIRS nightvision system. In addition to your compass/sextant/ and lead line hehehe
