How does it work?

YB-supporting-Rebelle-Rally.jpg

We know that you have a lot of things to deal with when organising a yachting event. Our aim is to make the 'tracking' part as simple as possible for you. We provide:

​

  • Delivery to you, and collection afterwards

  • Global service - anywhere in the world

  • The YB trackers

  • Our award-winning web-based race viewer

  • Live leaderboarding

  • Replay facilities

  • Support before, during, and after your event

  • Access to our Apple/Android app

​

Our YB trackers have very large battery capacities, and are designed to work for long durations. When the trackers arrive with you, they just need to be attached to the stern rail of the boat using our quick velcro-mount, and then turned on by pressing a button.

 

We take it from there, and make sure that the units are working, and help get everything ready for the start of the race.

​

The YB unit is designed for the harsh realities of the sea - they are waterproof, rugged and reliable. If you choose YB for your event, you're in good hands.
