I have an Oceanis 390 1989 with old electronics that I want to upgrade.  I plan to do some coastal cruising and trip to Bahamas/us Virgins with two person crew.  Looking for recommendations for a new system.  Radar, chart plotter, AIS, battery management, autopilot / wind vance, depth and anything else you recommned.  I want a high value system that is easy to operate.  Don't want to spend a fortune.  What systems would you recommend and what are your recommendations for installation.  Perhaps someone I can consult with for a fee.  I'm looking for someone that can work with me to install it right.  I can do some work with guidance.  Best Regards

I'm looking for a experienced crew member or two to help my wife and 24 yr old son sail from Galveston to Padre Island in the June 3 race to the border.  I have a 1988 Oceanis 390.  Wife and son have limited sailing experience and seek the added security of having an experienced sailor on board to help with watches.
