Considering that Every sailboat and Motorboat that is used/can be used for over night is required to have a radio (which techinicly is a computer)by the coastgaurd. it should be %100 of seaworthy vehicle's. But since you are asking about a computer as in a personal computer. The answer may never come because no-one ask's were the computer is going to. Therefore short of having a complete census of the east coast or checking number of sales of conversion/specialty parts on the east coast, there is no way of finding out. |

This is an "easy" answer, and is made without doing any research. Of course there is no single way to reductively conclude a specific number. But there are: sales of "marine" notebooks, made by specific notebook manufacturers, |

(continued)- there are sales of installed p.c.s wired directly into nav stations (by boatbuilders), navigation software sold to boat owners (by at least 4-5 major marine software companies, etc. I was hoping that someone had already gone thru this research and compiled a range which would be a reasonable estimate. Stating that a vhf radio is a computer is - ??. The computer's found on sailboats are usually associated with Navigation, and Plotting Software, and would most likely be found on boats cruising beyond their local waters - therefore boats over 34' would be "most likely" to have them. The bigger the boat, the longer the cruise, the more likely. But nevertheless - what is the approximate number +/-? |
