Nice movie about his participation in the Mini Transat 2007 as well here:

In order to mount the chart-plotter without irreversibly sawing wholes into the Seascape I built myself a casing out of plastic.
The casing is made of UV-resistant plastic and bent by using a hot air gun and a form made out of wood.
It is not exactly stylish like an Iphone but considering my manual skills quite okay.
