Final Projects Rush: Lookout AI Camera Install, Dinghy Cushions & Aft Locker Overhaul | Helios Prep
In this episode we’re in full “get it done” mode as we race to finish three major projects before leaving on our next adventure with Helios!
First up — after weeks of planning, parts ordering, and preparation, we finally complete the full installation of the Lookout AI Camera System. Watch the whole process come together as we get this powerful new smart system up and running..
LOOKOUT combines data from charts, AIS, computer vision, and radar, then fuses it into one intuitive, 3D augmented reality view.
Next, we make some long-overdue custom cushions for Bob (our trusty dinghy) so he can rest comfortably and securely on the foredeck without damaging the deck or himself.
And finally, with all gas appliances now removed from the boat, we completely redesign and reorganise the aft locker to make much better use of the space.
Lots of satisfying progress in this one as we tick off big jobs and get Helios ready for the next chapter!
