Software update improves
Simrad fish-finding
Simrad has released a new software update for NSS evo3, NSS evo2, NSO
evo2 and GO series displays that includes sonar enhancements and C-MAP
charting improvements. At its heart is FishReveal, an exciting new sonar
feature that makes fish easier to see on DownScan Imaging. The upgrade also
includes significant enhancements to StructureScan 3D and StructureScan
HD, plus a new and easy-to-interpret C-MAP Navigation Palette.
FishReveal is a massive leap forward in fish-finding technology that enables
you to quickly and easily discover how fish orient themselves in and around
cover and structure, with clearly defined fish
arches. Unlike traditional CHIRP sonar views
that provide strong fish targets but lack
refined structure detail, or DownScan Imaging
that provides realistic images of bottom and
structure details but show fish targets as
tiny dots, Simrad’s FishReveal Smart Target
Viewing combines the best data from both
technologies, eliminating the need for split-
screen viewing and interpretation.
C-MAP charts also got a major upgrade in
readability that is most apparent near shore,
where the colours used for land, docks,
anchorage areas, water and channels are
nicely differentiated. Contour lines are
now more distinct, and the new palette
makes it easier to see where the boat is in
relation to a channel, navaid, ledges and
drop-offs, or a point of land. The colour
scheme is also much easier on the eye.

Activity Vessel
Regal’s new 33 SAV is a collaboration of
features and options that give you a family
boat that can also take on the bluewater.
Built in Florida, USA, this premium outboard-
powered hard-top express cruiser delivers
versatility and luxury in a do-it-all package
they call a Sports Activity Vessel.
With a beam of 3.2m and an overall length
of 10.4m, it offers a spacious cockpit with a
side door and livewell, plus a fold-away aft
bench seat, starboard side lounge seating and
large storage compartments. For entertaining
there’s also a refreshment centre with a large
countertop, refrigerator, sink, garbage can,
storage and an optional electric grill. Above
the entertainment centre is a flip-down TV,
which can also be used to keep the fishing
crew updated with a relay from the triple-seat
helm’s state-of-the-art Garmin chartplotters.
A wide walk-thru with tall freeboard provides
easy access to and from the bow, where you
can cast to schooling fish or relax on the large
sunpad when the optional table and filler
cushions are added. Downstairs there’s a large
walk-in shower and head, plus a spacious cabin
with a skylight, microwave and stereo system.
A large California queen aft bed provides for
comfortable overnight stays, and there’s an
additional queen bed in the bow that converts
into a settee with the touch of a button.94 facebook.com/BlueWatermagazine
