Does that mean that my trusted method of using two bamboo poles with a rope between them and a rag to mark the centre line is no longer needed to determine correct distance and offset when positioning jack-ups against a platform??
What happened to innovation and hard earned experience?

Yup, that makes sense now that you mention it.

Will it come to a vessel near you in the near future??
I’m using TruPulse 200 Laser range finder. It was awesome.
I think this is the best one in cheap rate. But if it’s not, than it would be very kind that you suggest me the best…
I’ve used laser range finders, stadimeters, and radian rule for distances but honestly I prefer just a well tuned radar or like others have mentioned, picturing something of a certain size to help guesstimate the distance. Works pretty well.
This is a great rangefinder. It is the first one I have owned and has already improved my game immediately. It’s easy to use. It took me a couple days to figure out the eye piece could be turned to focus the picture. Worth the money. It’s built to last.
