and settings, so they are completely dependent on receiving reliable wind, load and other information from the instrument system.


‘An estimate for a new N2K-based system would have cost just over €50,000 plus carpentry to change the display mounting holes and the need to open all the headliners, ducts and bulkheads to run new cabling,’ says Agnew, adding that ‘the A+T upgrade was €15,000’. After a week for installation Anne now had a system with better performance, superb engineering and great support, which was little needed throughout a trouble-free Med summer season.


Original installation was carried out in early 2019 by Ronald Bunders of Tijssen in Palma, a recognised expert in instrument systems. A+T support was needed however,


while Anne was on a delivery to the Caribbean in late 2019. Parts of the display system had started “freezing”, a conditon which will be well known to many yacht captains and crew. A+T visited the yacht in Antigua in January 2020 and within a few hours, using the built-in diagnostics, a rogue broken gauge was found to be pulling down the whole system.


After a quick replacement with a new A+T display, the entire system was checked and confirmed to be

Above and right: the requirement to respect the exquisite


craftsmanship and classic aesthetic of a yacht like Anne when installing new electronic instruments can add significant costs to the installation. And with a sailing programme that includes long ocean passages and cruises in far flung parts of the world, the availability of totally reliable support for key electronic systems is a crucial factor


working well before the yacht left a few days later bound for South Africa and then on to the Indian Ocean. ‘The sysem has worked flawlessy since A+T’s visit,’ says Anne’s captain Nick Jackson. Besides Anne, A+T processors and displays have been used to upgrade the electronic systems aboard a wide range of other superyachts such as


Adix, Marie, G2, Symmetry, Stay Calm, M5 and many more. Agnew summarises their support commitment as ‘being here for a long time, not a good time.’ He says: ‘we are always happy to help yachts with their instrument systems, whatever the issue, both before they become customers of A+T and after’. www.aandtinstruments.com
