There has been plenty of discussion regarding which electronic navigation devices are "needed" for coastal cruising and what we can do without.
What would be your order of priority of the following:
Autopilot
GPS and Plotter
Depth Sounder
VHF radio
EPIRB / PLB
AIS
Wind Instruments
Radar
Remote Camera(s)
In my case I would choose:
VHF an EPIRB are a legal requirement where I boat. I expect that most would rate Radar & AIS higher than i did, but as we don't get fog and there is very little boat traffic, so they are down on my list.
