Let's not lose sight of the fact he's mentioned this being a fairly small vessel. So fitting an abundance of displays is probably not practical, or sensible from a budget perspective.

These days you can get some pretty amazing results from tablets and phones, so the "need" for a backup chart plotter is somewhat less than it's been in the past, especially when space at the helm is at a premium.
