Could this new system prevent COLLISIONS at SEA?

Check out WATCHIT Smart Prevention Collision System here:

Hi everyone!

Join me onboard as I install and test the brand new WATCHIT Smart Collision Prevention System! This is a system developed purely to prevent collisions at sea. It monitiors the surroundings around you, and will alert if you get close to shallow waters, grounds or navigation marks. We are only human and we can take bad desicions, or even no decisions at all, when we get tired and fatigued. WATCHIT is here to make you aware, when your not aware yourself.

Im really exited to bring this onboard to Greenland. When sailing in unknown water this system creates an extra barrier between me and a possible danger, and will make me aware if Im closing into a danger I might not know is there.

Lets put it to a real test!

I wonder why the main chartplotters don't do this ... they typically already have all the info integrated (your course, map, depth, AIS, wind, radar, etc)

I’m addicted to watching great videos on youtube. This is by far my favourite channel. Great narration. Fantastic content. I’m not even a sailor.

Erik, any attempt to prevent an incident, from being an accident, is a great course to navigate.

Erik is back! Good stuff. Thanks for sharing!!

Your boat is probably the most technologically advanced sail boat on YouTube. I certainly haven't seen anything coming even close. It would be really interesting seeing you go on a circumnavigation, or at least crossing the Atlantic. Your trip to Greenland is going to be very interesting to watch too. Because while there are quite a number of people going around the globe, the boats they're using are pretty traditional, and they're not, generally, hard core sailors like you. Hopefully one day you find yourself in the right condition to set sail for Australia.

Made it to Iceland! Well done, brother!

After hearing the Siren i was waiting for "pull up, pull up"

Eric I think you're probably the best sailor I've seen on Youtube. The things you have put your boat through are amazing. Cheers stay safe!⛵🍺.

Looking forward to seeing you in Greenland👍

[danpoczynek]

Very cool… can’t wait to see your next adventure

[bhzgbnp]

Erik your craft gets better and better. And so do you. Much success towards Greenland.

Mucha suerte Erik en este nuevo intento, muchos éxitos

[rodneyallen]

This is a great piece of equipment! I’m curious about what parts of the world are charted ?
Thanks Erik for sharing your experience and how this system could have changed what happened to you.

[delzworld]

Looks like a very useful piece of life saving kit Erik. Looking forward to your Greenland trip. Bon Voyage

[surfrico]

Good luck on your journey. Love your videos.

Hello Erik
Nice tutorial
Tessi became very very technical
Cheers

[davidnichols]

Eric, Tessi must be the most advanced technologically craft afloat. Watchit really is a game changer, more advanced than OSCAR which the IMOCA fleet has used in the past. Hope you make it to Greenland this time and best to your girlfriend.

[billmccaffrey]

Now it needs to go to the next level and use available steering and propulsion systems to avoid disasters when you don't respond. Cool stuff!

[bigpeteyork]

Great and very informative but I have a solid you parked tessi on the island what would you have done if the insurance did not cover the repairs would you have got another contessa or would you have got another toy if so which one would you have got and why ?? Thanks Pete.

[johnmayer]

Thank you for introducing and testing a very important piece of equipment but to install the speaker (housing a magnet) above and close to the handheld compass is a bad idea. All the best wishes for your trip to Greenland !
