History of iBoattrack:
As part of Horizon Marine's continuous research
and development program, we began extending our satellite communication interface by tracking a handful of boats during the Marion to Bermuda Race in 1999, 2001, and 2003. In 2005, iBoattrack launched
a pilot program that provided offshore yacht race tracking for every
competitor in five different races.
The 2005 pilot project proved to be successful
and fun. We continued our race tracking service through 2006 and successfully tracked and mapped 265 boats in the Centennial Newport to Bermuda Race.
In 2007, we continued our tracking and mapping service and aquired contracts for a few new races including the Charleston to Bermuda Race and the Long Beach to Cabo San Lucas Race.
In 2008, we pushed our system to a new frontier and tracked and mapped both the Newport to Bermuda Race and the 100th Race to Mackinac hosting 198 and 435 boats, respectively. This season turned out to be a challenging, yet rewarding experience and look forward to continuing our service to new and existing clients.
