This can be anyone you designate. These people will receive your delayed notifications, and will be our control centre point of contact for you should you send an SOS.

Once their details are in - click 'Save Contacts'

These will appear in your saved contacts, and can be changed at any time.

Now Lets Look At SOS, Sail Plan and Tracking.

SOS

SOS is linked to our live 24/7 Global Control Centre.

From here you can choose Mayday, Mayday Relay, Pan-Pan or Securite

Click what you want and proceed.

In our example we have selected Mayday.

Now choose one of the Mayday elements and click 'Send Emergency Alert'

It will also pre populate (if you have added your boat in the profile) your emergency VHF script for you to follow with, should you need it.

HELP IS ON THE WAY!

This data (your profile, boat details, trip data etc) will be pushed through to your regional coast guard service (anywhere in the world), to our Control Centre and your Emergency Contact.

HELP IS ON THE WAY!

Sail Plan

In here you will fill in your details.

Boat - Select your existing boat and it pre populates from your stored boats

Fill in Departure Point

Fill in Destination

and your Expected Time

You an add weather data, and its always helpful to fill in your safety check - just incase.

Any additional notes, ie, 2 small children on board.

Now click Start Tracking.

By default, the tracking is done in 10 minute intervals. However this can be changed in settings within your profile, should you want it to be more often or less.

Should you not get to your destination on time, you should go back into this page and extend trip with a new time of arrival.

Should your arrival time lapse (by default there is an inbuilt 30 minute delay, however this again can be adjusted within your settings page), then your emergency contact will be notified to make sure you are safe on the water.

Other Features

Safety Checks

Within SeaGuardian is a button for Safety Checks. This allows you to check each item one at a time and confirm you are fit to leave the dock.

Once submitted, this data sits against your sail plan or track, so should you need emergency assistance or push SOS, our Control Centre has all the information about the boat, and you have an insurance record.

Engineering Support

Within SeaGuardian is a button for Engineering Support.

This allows you, should you need it, to select one of the problems and the system will safely navigate you through problem solving.

Should you get to the end and it still doesn't work, then the system will connect you with one of our marine engineers.

With general chat boards, and group boards, you can share stories, best moorings, weather, wildlife and more.
