Yachts competing in Tasmania’s major offshore races this summer, including the Maria Island, Launceston to Hobart and Three Peaks races, will be fitted with satellite-based tracking units to provide organisers, the public and the media with real-time position reports throughout the races. This will be the first time satellite trackers, with public computer access, have been used in races organised by Tasmanian yacht clubs, although yachts in the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race have had trackers for more than a decade.
