Instrument placement

The 310 only has room for three instruments on the hatch roof, and the default is that one of those places is occupied by the compass. This means that in order to get the instruments I want (wind, tridata, graphics x 2) I need to find a creative solution. I could go for mast instruments, but that means more wires through the mast, longer wire distances and more expensive instruments. Another way I could go, is to change where the compass is (move it down next to the engine controls), and get three instruments on the hatch roof, and then mount the autopilot control and additional st60+ graphics facing aft on the cockpit benches. I got the yard to go with the latter option.

Now if I could only find a good way to have a plotter accessible in the cockpit with equally good visibility from both tacks....

Equipment chosen for hull #19

Here's the current list of options chosen for hull #19, delivered with a tiller (ofcourse):

• Racing pack & cruising pack
• Shelves, removable
• Raymarine ST60+ Wind, Graphics (x 2)
• Raymarine SPX-10 autopilot
• Cabin heater, webasto 2000

• Extra manual bilge pump (required for certain offshore races)
• Lazy jacks
• Upgraded fabric on cushions
• Sprayhood
• Radio/CD with speakers inside & cockpit
• Folding prop (flex-o-fold)
• The other standard delivery stuff...

VHF and chart plotter I am going to wait as late as possible before having to choose in order to see what happens with innovation, new releases etc.

Currently we are considering the name of the boat, typeface, decals etc.....cool!

Addtional Equipment - to include -

 ...Extras? Options? Included? I'm guessing that they are included.
