Question for Yachet man


My uncle owned a boat, it was a 55 foot boat that he used to go to Catalina and mostly fishing in the Pacific Ocean. His communication equipment was high up and not as low as it appeared on this film. He always made everyone wear a life vest and he towed a small boat at the back for any emergencies. I only went twice, I got sea sick pretty badly and chose not to go again. Is the area of his communications equipment accurate for a sail boat? I was fairly young and don't have a great memory or know the terms for boating. My only real memory was of the Uncle bitching about the price of fuel to get the boat to Catalina. It was the 70's.🚢

the area for communication equipment is accurate... right next to the navigation table on the starboard side, standard in most midsized sailboats
