815.0. "Electronics for Sail Boats" by AOHM::JACOBS (Remember the Future) Wed Apr 27 1988 16:42

	Does anyone have any information on sailing electronics from the 
Balmar Corp? As I understand it, they build instruments that correlate  
several variables and assist the navigator in determining the "real" wind 
direction as opposed to the "apparent" wind direction and pass this info to 
an onboard computer.
	I am trying to determine weather it is possible to attach there 
equipment to any DEC hardware.
                                                                       
Thanks
Paul

	I would guess that it's RS232 compatible like any other electronics that would feed a autopilot etc., meaning anything that has an RS232 compatible serial port would suffice (most DEC hardware fits the bill, along with most PCs, Laptops etc.). Tom--
