MaxSea International and FURUNO ELECTRIC CO. are glad to renew their sponsorship deal with British yachtswoman, mechanical engineer, mum and Social Media heavy user, Samantha Davies.
This 2012-2013 season, Sam Davies will benefit from a unique joint venture technology, the new PC radar, and be one of the first racers to sail with on her recently launched Savéol boat.
This revolutionary and lightweight solution allows racers to have highly-performing equipment without sacrificing speed and space by connecting her PC directly to the radar antenna.
The female skipper, who started training for the upcoming Vendée Globe, officially launched her new boat last week and started her sailing sessions off Port-la-Forêt in order to test Savéol in real conditions.
Follow Sam’s blog at http://www.samdavies.com/, her Facebook page, Twitter account and her YouTube channel.
Hi, this looks great and all, but the solution provided contradicts with the information provided in the FAQ about directly connecting an antenna to MaxSeaTZ
http://www.maxsea.com/support/faq/can_i_directly_connect_a_furuno_digital_radar
which is true?
Dear Soffi,
Thank you for your comment. Both are true in fact, the PC Radar solution is only available in France and Germany at this moment and requires technical intervention. For other markets, the FAQ is 100% correct.
Best regards,
MaxSea Team
Hi Maxsea Team, I have a new boat under build in France currently and will finalize all electronics choices soon — what is the additional cost (if any) of this ‘technical intervention’ please? Thanks,
Matt
Dear Matt,
Sorry for the late answer, we were in Paris for 10 days attending the Nautic Boat Show. What kind of “technical intervention” are we talking about? Where is your boat located?
Thank you!
Best regards,
–MaxSea Team
Hi, no worries and sorry for the delay in turn, I was referring to your own comment above, ‘ the PC Radar solution is only available in France and Germany at this moment and requires technical intervention ‘. The boat is under build on the North coast of Bretagne. Merry xmas!
Oh we see, please contact our Regional Sales Manager in France for more details: philippe.raba@maxsea.fr or find a reseller through http://www.maxsea.com/fr/trouver_un_revendeur or http://www.maxsea.com/find_a_reseller
