show pics of your instruments!!!

I am replacing my 30+ year old instruments with newer more high tech autohelm/raymarine st50 series instruments. I'd love to see where you have mounted them in your boat for ideas. Thanks!!!

Nice set up Rik. I would also want my instruments at a close reach.

Broke - put the picture up on the Web somewhere and then put a link to it here in the post.

For instance: https://picasaweb.google.com/RikHallPhotos/MiscSailboat

There are probably lots of ways, but that is how I do it.

Well this is the best I can do, can't get the picture on the post. Anyway this is my newly installed setup on my Crealock 37 yawl.

Nothing wrong with that.

Next time, here are my steps - so simple, even I can follow them.

1 - on the web, find the photo you want
2 - RIGHT click on the photo and select "View Image"
3 - when it comes up in its own window, copy the URL at the top.
4 - now, go into SailNet and start your post
5 - where you want your picture, up above, click the little square yellow icon that sort of looks like a picture
6 - in the new little box that comes up delete what is there and put your new URL into it that you copied from your picture
7 - click Go Advance at the bottom to make sure it is not a compromising picture of your crew and if you like it - click Submit Post

Try it - it might even work.

I wish I had more (story of my life!) but maybe this will give you some ideas...
