Message From The Editor
Technology overload
Kerrwil Media Publisher, Jill Snider and I had the pleasure of traveling to New York city last week for a special Brunswick media event. It was an absolute stunner. Although only a selected group of products were there on display, it skillfully demonstrated the incredible breadth and depth of integrated marine products that Brunswick now manufacturers.
Depending on what you are interested in, the highlight of the day might have been the new Boston Whaler 405 Conquest autonomous docking demonstration boat. Equipped with a remarkable display of all the leading-edge tech that Brunswick offers, especially through their Navico Group and their Marine Autonomy group, after a few moments of user-friendly programming, this richly equipped yacht moved away from the dock, out to a predetermined location in the fairway without any driver input. There, the Skyhook feature held position until we pressed the button requesting the Boston Whaler to dock itself. A stunning display!
