A New Paradigm for Cruising

Masthead TV Camera

Steve have you ever used a masthead tv camera with pan and tilt to con the boat through coral heads, etc. Thanks Jerry, Venice, CA

Hi Jerry–this is an interesting concept, and we’ve thought about it for making videos. However, the complexity of the equipment, and weight aloft (the cable is really heavy), plus the fact that you need to be on deck keeping an eye out and trying to interpret shadows under water–I think gives this a low potential for really working.

“The 83ft-long (25m) wave-piercer...could easily be mistaken for the spawn of the Royal Navy with its unpainted battleship grey, all-aluminum body. But that day, in those conditions, it was the only boat that I would have wanted to climb aboard to face the English Channel.” --Motor Boat & Yachting
