Over the last year, YachtBot has supported a number of great Waka Ama events with GPS based tracking gear and with on- and off-site event support

YachtBot is a product line created by Igtimi. Based in Dunedin, our core business is working with performance athletes in all water sports, mostly sailing and kayaking. We design and create hardware and software that helps coaches and analysts boost their athletes’ performance. We love helping teams win more medals!

YachtBot Mini is new addition to the YachtBot product line. It is a lighter and simple device and works seamlessly with our backend server system and our own 2D viewer website at www.yachtbot.com.

It’s the perfect candidate for showing real time location and speed over ground when absolute accuracy is less of a concern. YachtBot Mini uses the local cell phone network to communicate GPS location and time data back to our servers.

Designed to work with the requirements of live TV, the server technology we use is extremely stable and reliable. 2G cell phone coverage is mandatory for YachtBot Mini to work. Vodafone is our preferred supplier. We are happy to ship you a trial device if you want to check the coverage on your race course.

YachtBot Mini features a long battery lifetime of 14+ hours. For you as a race organiser, that means set-and-forget on the morning of each event day. Re-charging from empty to 90% takes about three hours and is easily done overnight. YachtBot Mini is splash proof, and can be safely carried in a life jacket pocket or tied to a kiato when wrapped up appropriately.

Waka Ama & YachtBot

For people to watch your live race, or see it in replay mode, you need a unique web address for your race. These are great for sharing on social media, and once set up, competitors can check that their name appears in the list of boats in the left hand panel.

To get your race addresses, we set up an account on YachtBot for you that represents your organization or event

All devices are either directly registered to this account, or are shared with it for the duration of the event.

Race links stay valid at least two years. To watch the Sugarloaf Race shown in image above, visit http://www.yacht-bot.com/races/6740.
