:: TRAILABLE TRIUMPH FOR TACKTICK MICRONET SYSTEM!
The Australian National Trailable Yacht Championships is a fiercely competitive series attracting the finest and best equipped vessels: finishing the most recent seven race regatta on 11 points, with second place on 22 points and winning line honours in 6 of the 7 races is an outstanding achievement… and an achievement due in part to the state-of-the-art Micronet System from Tacktick.
The Ross 780 that sailed to victory is the first trailable yacht in Australia to feature the system and the crew couldn't be more enthusiastic about it.
Rod Caldwell, Manager – Corporate Business Mitsubishi Australia Ltd, says, “We are rapt with it, the system is awesome, and I have been telling everyone how convenient it is. In particular, the wireless wind instrument is fantastic because we are constantly dropping and raising the mast so ‘wireless' is good!”
“In addition to the seven race regatta, we won a number of other passage races with the benefit of the system – especially the NMEA interface allowing BTW and COG to be displayed on a night when fog and smoke produced zero visibility. We had to rely on the numbers to get us through… and it took us to victory.”
The system aboard the new Ross 780 comprises speed, depth, compass transducer, wind transmitter and display plus 2 X dual displays and an NMEA interface that connects to a handheld GPS. The system is totally integrated and, of course, coming from Tacktick is robust, reliable and wonderfully user-friendly.
Tacktick dominate the world of Olympic sailing and international keel and sports boat racing with top international sailors using their products. Now with the launch of Micronet, the company is providing wireless electronics to Americas Cup and Admirals Cup boats as well as cruising and racing fleets globally.
The Australian distributor of Tacktick instrumentation is Oceantalk, a company with an equally enviable reputation. For range, product knowledge and service Oceantalk is without equal. And not surprisingly they are thrilled that the Australian launch of the Micronet System has got off to such a winning start!
