The photos show the clipper navtex & gas alarm fitted, neither of which are currently functional. Entire gas system replaced and re-certified so it is all brand new.
iPad on board for photos but it will not be included in the sale. The bracket it hangs on can be included. It is a really good system for nav.
There is an AIS transponder on board. It has a wifi network which is read by the iPad to show nearby ships.
Safety Equipment
2 bilge pumps (1 manual / 1 Electric)
