Because Soft Touch won’t be an ocean going yacht, it doesn’t need all the fancy navigation tech. But I still wanted some toys to play with. Because I couldn’t justify spending all that money on chart plotters, AIS and an autopilot, I decided to DIY it using Openplotter and the various addons that provide the same functionality, but at a fraction of the price.
