• "YOG announces deal for  All Yacht Magazine  subscribers" - each magazine was written to separately

 In  recognition of the  fact that  YOG MARINE COMPUTERS’  products  are  aimed at the Superyacht  sector  rather than at  the 12m – 20m market, YOG has announced  a  cut  down version of its popular ENTERTAINER model  for  the small yacht market’s magazine  subscribers..  Still supplying the  TV,DVD,CD, FM RADIO leisure functions, the package still comes with the acclaimed PC Maritime Navmaster 5 software and a folio of charts.  A UPS is included  as well as a dedicated inverter and GPS/cable and the only difference is that a smaller INTEL processor is used, along with a smaller hard drive, along with Office XP Small Business Edition instead of Professional Edition.    “Considering that we built our first YOG system in 1996 with a PII 350 processor,  subscribers are still getting a fantastic deal  even with a PIII Celeron processor”  said Edward Pascoe, Sales Director.  “We recommend that  users order the vector (digital)  charts format which take up much less space than the scanned Raster (ARCS) charts,    in view of the smaller hard drive”, he added.

 To qualify for this offer, subscribers must send in their subscription  label which is found on the front of their named yacht magazine , and payment must be made by that named subscriber,  YOG will register all software to that subscriber and  delivery will only made to the subscriber’s   home address.  The product offers a saving of £499.00 excl. VAT  in view of the changes, and comes complete with TFT 15 inch screen, wireless keyboard and mouse, and slimline printer for printing passage plans and weather info.  This makes the  package £2999.00 plus VAT
