As we do every year, we wandered with a curious eye among the booths and pavilions of boat shows, but also among the docks of Mediterranean marinas, looking for new accessories to install or keep on the boat. Regarding one of the aspects most prone to obsolescence in boating, namely electronics, we tell you about four new products you can install to freshen up your boat. From navigation solutions (such as chartplotters and processors) to safety solutions (such as epirb and radar).
