Good comments.
I notice Si-Tex also has a RADARpc software available to interface with their radar sensors:
"Turn your PC into a Full-Featured Network Radar System."

Don't know how well it works, but may do what I'm hearing you're after.
Have you considered whether you want your PC in the cockpit or are you planning on using it only down below. I have an aversion to PC's in the cockpit for their survivability and view-ability, but my cockpit is also not particularly protected. If you have a pilot house or very enclosed dodger/bimini on that Jeanneau it might be safe. Otherwise you might consider one of the newer range of plotters that can do it all and are usable in the cockpit.
