Made of the same material as wet suits used by scuba divers and featuring a "locking zipper" to prevent them from blowing off while pulling your boat down the road, these new covers will insure that your BAZOOKA tubbies stay looking new for many years to come.

Global Satellite USA Launches New High Performance Tracking Device For Megayachts, Tenders, Jet Skies And The Racing World Fort Lauderdale , FL : November 13th, 2008 : Global Satellite USA, leaders in the satellite marine industry, launches POLARIS , a new position-reporting device for megayachts, tenders, jet skies and the racing world produced by Trident Sensors Ltd. in the UK. For safety and security reasons, megayachts require reporting and tracking solutions. With the new POLARIS , if guests on a charter boat take a jet ski or tender for a short trip, and something goes wrong, it is now possible to track them and provide immediate assistance. Even when tenders are secured tightly at the end of the boat, accidents happen quickly, especially in bad weather and if the tender breaks away, an alarm will go off as soon as the position is altered. An alarm can be triggered if either there is movement without the owner's consent or a revised direction from a planned route already programmed. CEO, Martin Fierstone, comments, "The low transmission cost, rapid deployment and economic price means that for owners who wouldn't normally consider this high level type of tracking, POLARIS provides a very attractive...

Nav-Tracker 2.0 Locates Stolen Boat In The Bahamas. Contender Recovered By US Coast Guard 12 Hours Later

Chris Johnson — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 01:44:40 GMT

Fort Lauderdale, Florida (USA) - A 34-foot Contender equipped with the Nav-Tracker 2.0 wireless boat location and GPS tracking system from Paradox Marine, stolen from Marsh Harbor in the Bahamas around midnight last Wednesday (September 17) local time, was located by the system and recovered in the vicinity by the US Coast Guard about 12 hours later. When a Nav-Tracker 2.0 transmitter is mounted discreetly on a boat, a wireless ‘fence' with a 500-meter range is created. If a boat is moved outside of this fence, 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, heading and distance to the closest city. As many as 27,000 boats are stolen annually and the odds of recovery are only about 1 in 10, according to the International Association of Marine Investigators. "Alarms and other deterrents are not enough. However, with a Nav-Tracker on board, if your boat is stolen, you'll have a much better chance of getting it back," said Jay Keenan, Paradox Marine Vice President of Marketing. The message transmitted from Nav-Tracker 2.0 on board the Contender when it...

New Analog To Digital Converter From Paradox Marine Allows Internet Viewing

Chris Johnson — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 01:38:58 GMT

Fort Lauderdale, Florida (USA) -Boat security systems supplier Paradox Marine has introduced a analog to digital (A/D) converter to enable yacht owners and captains to view images captured by onboard CCTV surveillance cameras over the Internet. The new A/D converter (inset in photo at left) connects to the Paradox Marine WatchMate yacht monitoring system, which enables monitoring of conditions on board from anywhere on a PC or mobile phone with Internet access. "Many boats already have surveillance cameras on board, but the signal is analog so there's no way to view the images remotely. Our new A/D converter solves this problem," said Jay Keenan, Paradox Marine Vice President of Sales & Marketing. Marine Watchmate, introduced at the Miami International Boat Show earlier this year, allows users to watch live video of their yacht, be alerted if temperature rises above a pre-set level, if water is detected in bilge or living areas, if motion is detected in a private area, or even if the yacht loses shore power. The system is virtually plug n' play and easy to set up. Marine Watchmate features: Cameras for live video monitoring from anywhere (cabin & deck available) Water sensors for bilge and living areas...
