Guard Your Tender on a Wireless Leash

Paradox Marine

Keep Track Of Your Tender With Nav-Tracker 2.0 TenderTAG
400 Foot Range For Unique Wireless Leash

Fort Lauderdale, Florida (USA) – Boat security systems supplier Paradox Marine has introduced Nav-Tracker 2.0 TenderTAG, an enhanced model of its Nav-Tracker 2.0 wireless boat location and GPS tracking system. TenderTAG activates an alarm when a tender is separated from the master craft, which can happen if a tow line breaks, the tender sinks, or it’s stolen.

When a Nav-Tracker 2.0 TenderTAG transmitter is mounted discreetly on a tender, a wireless ‘leash’ with a programmable range from 100 to 400 feet is created. The Nav-Tracker 2.0 receiver on board the boat or yacht will not only alert you if the leash is broken - with the flick of a switch you can also disable the tender’s engine. An additional switch is available to remotely turn on the tender’s navigation lights for night time towing.

Nav-Tracker 2.0

Nav-Tracker 2.0 uses Inmarsat based GPS satellite technology to monitor a boat’s location and notify up to four people by email and/or text message every 15 minutes with the latitude/longitude, speed and heading if it is moved outside of a “geo-fence” with a 500-foot radius. The system will also send several daily status reports.

A message from Nav-Tracker 2.0 would look like this:

Well I have to say, thanks for the interest in my product, I should say that it was originally conceptualized for MOB situations, as one of my uncles was lost at sea in the seventies as he had fallen off his yacht in a san Francisco to Hawaii race and it was since then that i had been looking for a way to reduce the risk
I also spent a couple of years on my 50 sport fish in sint Maarten and wondered if i were to have fallen overboard how was i going to swim at 15 knots to catch up to my boat?
we are always looking for ways of using the technology for marine applications from monitoring engines wirelessly to bilge sensors, so if anyone has any ideas and would like to make enough money to also spend a couple of years cruising the waters of the Caribbean give me a shout thanks.604-214-3522
