My wife and I were thinking of upgrading to the new 44 sundancer with the Zues rig and the skyhook
Somethings that worries me about this is to be a guinny pig for all this electronic stuff
With skyhook you just lock in the GPS position and the boat will stay in its position no mater what the current, wind etc while you can go off and do other things like get your lines ready..
What if its looses its connection with the sat, bloody thing might just bolt off throughing you overboard..ok once it connects to the sat again it might come back and then run you over (HAHA)
Zues..well lots of complicated engineering there waiting to go wrong.. Maybe I am just a shafts and rudders guy noting to complicated..
