We feel happy
that we will continue this into the future knowing that we are able to
mount rescues and know what’s going on with the fleet at all times

It makes
sense that we use this proven technology to provide our water safety teams a
live feed of the exact location of all of our paddlers for the duration of the race.
The added bonus is that for the first time, spectators can watch the race unfold in real time via the live
tracking website. We’re pretty excited about this.

..the app
SafeTrx is absolutely fundamental in ensuring our paddlers safety is
maintained and this is why we do our best to enforce its use.

Flotilla is
hands down the best value for money tracking service on the planet.
I love that it works on a smartphone and I don't have to deal with dedicated tracking gadgets. No other
tracker has such a high level of integration with the NSRI, our local search and rescue organisation. My race
safety officer can keep an eye on everyone, NSRI is watching and spectators can track their favourites.
On a personal note, 2 friends have been rescued and brought home safe thanks to Flotilla and SafeTrx. I will
not run an event without it.

Our 4-day
race is held on perhaps the wildest and most remote coastline in South Africa.
On day 2 of the 2018 race a paddler lost their ski and was left swimming 2km out to sea. Flotilla assisted
the situation and helped us to rescue the paddler in minutes. The human and financial saving was
immeasurable.

Tracking our
participants over the course is important to us, both for safety reasons,
and for the viewing public.
The SafeTrx Flotilla Event website showing the runners progress allowed anyone to monitor the racers
on what was a very tough day.

The
KwaZulu-Natal north coast is a dream downwind destination with warm water and no
winter to speak of.
The challenging surf conditions make running events covering numerous zones hard work. Flotilla feeds race
organisers real time information on the location of the field, aiding in the positioning of our water safety
crew which is a valuable asset to extreme watersports like downwind surfski paddling.

Endorsed by
our national sporting organisation Canoe Racing New Zealand, the event
serves as our selections for this year’s International Canoe Federation World Championship in France.
We have investigated many tracking and emergency alerting options and are convinced that SafeTrx (kindly made
available by the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard) is the best solution available to keep our paddlers safe on
the water.

Overall the
system worked really well, it’s fantastic and I am really keen to be a part
of the future development.
