and Boats.com, will be running Chase Boat II, one of two powerboats capturing live video from the races and feeding them directly to NBC
televison and other media outlets. The 36 ft Twin V-hull catamaran is powered by twin 300-hp Mercury Verado engines. Brown has used the boat for a number of go-fast powerboat shoots, as well for big-wave surfing photo assignments.

Mariners should be careful not to confuse technology skills, or the sophistication of their integrated, networked navigation system (complete with redundancy)... for seamanship.
 Seamanship(as defined by Wikipedia) is "the art of operating a ship or boat".
"It involves topics and development of specialized skills including: navigation and international maritime law; weather, meteorology and forecasting; watchstanding; ship-handling and small boat handling; operation of deck equipment, anchors and cables; ropework and line handling; communications; sailing; engines; execution of evolutions such as towing; cargo handling equipment, dangerous cargoes and cargo storage; dealing with emergencies; survival at sea and search and rescue; fire fighting.
