SIMRAD and B&G - Jersey Main Dealer
SIMRAD AI50 Class B AIS Transponder - always in stock Jersey.
The AI50 Class B AIS transponder has a colour display with simplified world chart, quickly selectable North-up or Course-up display, and is
complete with it's own GPS antenna (VHF antenna is not included - use the most suitable standard VHF or AIS-optimised antenna for your vessel).
For repeating the display of AIS targets on modern plotter and radar displays, this unit also outputs tracked target data in NMEA0183 and Simnet (and NMEA2000 with adaptor cable) (NMEA data at 38kbaud rate, sentences VDM, VDO, RMC, ALR).
Having it's own GPS receiver and antenna, this unit can also serve as backup GPS, or position source for other equipment which requires position and time data, such as DSC VHF radiotelephone.
Operating language can be configured for all primary European languages.
Our price £699.

Although for many years we concentrated on all-makes equipment installation and repair (which showed us which makes are reliable, and which are not), in the early 2000's, Simrad appointed us to be their Main Service Dealer, and this was followed by our appointment by Furuno, initially as Fishery Support Dealer, then as Main Dealer, with both manufacturers citing feedback from both commercial and private vessel clients on our logical and efficient approach to fault-finding, and high level of service and backup.
Hence we are agent for two of the mainstream manufacturers of reliable marine electronics, for commercial, fishery, and private vessel owners requiring equipment which will continue to fully perform all of it's designed functions:
SIMRAD & B&G - Jersey Main Dealer
We do not attempt to compete on price alone with internet suppliers, who survive on very low margins and offer no local support, software updating, maintenance, or on-board warranty response, but instead we concentrate on supply and installation, with proper commissioning and calibration (and hence full warranty validation), of those brands which we have experienced to be reliable, and which therefore require a minimum of fault-related support.
We are not general chandlers, but in addition to fault diagnosis and repairs, specialise in marine electronic and electrical equipment supply and installation, with proper calibration, and ongoing support where needed, which requires of us a proper understanding of traditional navigation, both under sail and power, in order to properly understand and support the equipment used to aid it.
So, if you want:
Reliable equipment, supplied, properly installed and commissioned, at a fair price, with fully validated warranty, equipment tuition to get you started, with hardware and software maintenance, and rapid on-board warranty and post-warranty response if it should be needed, then let us supply you.
Where required, e.g. for fishery and angling applications, or if you just want to keep your cruising history, we can provide conversion and transfer of waypoint, mark and track data, from most brands of GPS and Chart Plotting equipment being replaced or complemented.

Furuno Sole Agent for Jersey
Order during May to beat the price increase.
Whilst the successful Navnet Vx2 range is to continue, it has now been complemented by the Navnet 3D range.
Building on the accuracy and reliability of Navnet Vx2, Navnet 3D's "Time Zero" seamless and instant pan, zoom and tilt technology, together with Furuno's 3D rendering, using cartography derived direct from Hydrographic Office data, and "Satellite PhotoFusion" integration of satellite photography for shallows and land areas, makes coastal, inshore, and shallow-water navigation in 3D genuinely easier than in 2D (although conventional overhead "flat" view is also built-in).
With Furuno reliability taken into account, "grey plastic" competition pales into insignificance.
Fixed Displays for flush or bracket mounting are available in 8" and 12", and there is a Black Box system version with panel mount waterproof keyboard/trackpad, which uses separated display(s).
All systems are AIS plot ready, and have been purpose designed to use the NMEA 2000 protocol.
Ultra High Definition Radar - network 19" and 24" radomes and 3.5', 4' and 6' open array radar scanners which can be incorporated (or retro-added) are all ARPA-equipped as standard (30 targets).
Other options include network echo sounder and HF radio weatherfax receiver modules.
Example systems, prices include cartography:
8" 3D Chart Plotter. MFD8 Multifunction Colour 8" Display with GPS/WAAS antenna = £1795 delivered Jersey.
12" 3D Chart Plotter. MFD12 Multifunction Colour 12" display (as above), with GPS/WAAS antenna = £2495 delivered Jersey.
12" 3D Chart Plotter with 36 mile ARPA Radar, GPS Compass, and AIS plotting. MFD12 with 24" Radome (30 target ARPA as standard), 10metre radome cable, SC30 Satellite Compass, and FA-30 AIS receiver = £4495 delivered Jersey.

We continue to encompass the entire marine electrical and electronic sector, from battery charging and systems monitoring,
DC and AC power distribution, electromechanical equipment supply and overhaul (including alternators and advanced regulation, starter motors, electric winches, anchor windlasses, autopilot drives and bow/stern thrusters (including interfacing with autopilot for compass heading or head-to-wind maintenance on larger vessels), through to navigation, communication and weather-related electronics,
for inshore, offshore and trans-ocean customers.
Our engineers Steve and Phil combine their experience of over 50 years in marine electrical and electronics installation, fault diagnosis, servicing and repair. Together with regular manufacturer update courses, and continuous evaluation of equipment performance and reliability during normal local work and seatrials, as well as that gained during many tens of thousands of miles of bluewater and ocean crossing deliveries under sail and power, this has allowed us to acquire a locally-unique insight into various brands' reliability, and the installation requirements for fully-effective and continuous operation at sea.
We have been approached by many manufacturers to represent them and provide support, and we have been pleased to accept those manufacturers whose equipment we have experienced to be fit-for-purpose for offshore and ocean passage making, and consequently whose equipment doesn't require the presence of service station in every coastal village on the planet (and the attendant planet-sized advertising budget). Our local customers also benefit from instant response backup if any problems occur with equipment we have supplied and installed (although very few of them ever have ever needed to take advantage that support, with most contacts received being for operational advice).
Our experience also empowers us to provide safe and effective installation, along with equally important proper commissioning and calibration, as well as fast and accurate fault tracing when needed.
All our new installations conform to European directives for vessels up to 24 metres:
Small Craft Electrical systems - Extra-low voltage DC installations: ISO 10133:2001.
Small Craft Electrical systems - Alternating current installations: ISO 13297:2001.
Shore power information - Due to the lack of respect for live and neutral polarity standardisation in some continental-European marina supplies, our shore power installations as standard are double pole fully-protected "non-polarised" systems, which makes "correct polarity" indicators redundant, and temporary polarity-reversing adaptors for shore cables redundant and unnecessary. In addition to double-pole overload and short-circuit protection, we incorporate 10mA sensitivity earth leakage trip protection (which is mandatory by EU regulation for galley and other exposed circuits) as standard for the entire vessel for 16 and 25 Amp systems, with separate 10mA earth leakage protection being provided for galley and exposed-area branch circuits in systems of 32 Amp and upwards.
Galvanic isolators are recommended for all marina-based craft with shore power systems, and are considered essential for metal-hulled craft (or better still - an isolation transformer, such as Mastervolt's Mass GI switch-mode isolation transformer - a lightweight at 6kg).

Jeppesen
C-MAP cartography and updating
(cards are programmed and verified in-house from latest data, therefore no postal delays).
* (Authorised
Dealer)
We are a programming dealer for Jeppesen Marine (formerly C-Map) NT+ and NT MAX charts (all card media
types including Furuno FP), providing new charts, updates and exchanges from
stock, using the latest worldwide data.
Although all C-Map charts have tide tables and curves for all Standard Ports covered by the chart,
for chart plotters capable of using NT MAX charts, the tidal stream arrows are particularly useful in our region.
We can also supply and update
CM93 charts (v2 and v3), and supply source CDs and unlock codes for NT+ on PC,
NT MAX on PC, and PC PLANNER for NT+ and NT MAX.
JEPPESEN C-MAP NEWS - NOVEMBER
2007 - CHART AREAS REVISED
For those cruising outside the C.I. area, the MAX MEGAWIDE areas have been extensively revised and enlarged (at the same prices). Contact us for details.
The LOCAL "Cherbourg - Cap Frehel" chart, and the WIDE
"Central English Channel" chart, available in NT+ or MAX versions, both of which include all
of
of the C.I. area and the nearby destinations in Normandy and Brittany, remain
unchanged in area (although there are many updates and corrections in the latest
release).
OLDER C-MAP CARTOGRAPHY
The C-Map CF85 cartridges which introduced electronic charting in the mid
eighties were finally discontinued in 2006.
