River Hamble 

This vessel is a Bermudan rigged, fin keel yacht, colour white with a centre cockpit. Stolen from a mid river pontoon over a period of time, the boat was fitted with furling genoa and inmast main. There was no sail number on the boat. A Volvo 50 hp engine was fitted.

 
 

What can I do about it that will not cost the earth?

 

I want to check it is still where I left it, anytime.

 

I want to be able to tell the Police exactly where it is,

any time day or night.

 

 

Where will it work

It works wherever a tri-band mobile phone will work, whichever country!

Check where you boat is, whilst you are away, holidaying or working or at home, .

 

The functions;

You phone it, from a text compatible phone (a mobile that can send and receive text meassages), the 'Tracker' will send back its current Longitude and Latitude to the designated text phone (your mobile) in the form of a text message.

 

Input these co-ordinates into any suitable software package, Google Earth works wonderfully.  This will show the transmitters location. (I.e. Your Boat!) click here to have a look at the Google Earth site  (Download the software it's free)

 

If you are on the boat, as an emergency aid, press a button and the location co-ordinates, are transmitted to your pre-designated mobile phones.  (Your partners, friends, etc)

 

Security

The 'Tracker' is a self contained unit, the size of a mobile phone, it's own, internal, battery will last about 4 days.

 

For continuous, unattended use, the 'Tracker' should be connected to a continuous supply.  The boats domestic batteries for example.  If these main batteries fail, the internal one will run for about 4 days.  (The 'Tracker' charger is supplied as standard)

 

 

Installation, you have two choices;

  • You install, this is the most secure, place (hide) the transmitter somewhere on the boat.

It only needs you to connect two wires, to the boat batteries.

 

  • We install, it truly is an easy installation, but the travel to your location has a time and cost impact, each installation will be unique.  Call to discuss. tracker@yachtie.com
