About the Konesberg Dynamic positioning - DP systems
A seagoing vessel is subjected to forces from wind, waves and current as well as from forces generated by the propulsion system.
The vessel's response to these forces, i.e. its changes in position, heading and speed, is measured by the position-reference systems, the gyrocompass and the vertical reference sensors. Reference systems readings are corrected for roll and pitch using readings from the vertical reference sensors. Wind speed and direction are measured by the wind sensors.
London Boat Show 2012
We were delighted once again to attend the London Boat Show at Excel London. This Show was a great success for us, thank you to all our customers who visited us on our very busy stand.
Raymarine E7 were one of our top sellers along with ICOM handheld VHF's and of course the Yeoman Chart Plotter.
We look forward to continued success at the forthcoming Southampton Boatshow.
