Company Profile E-mail

TackTracker was conceived and developed by Geoff Smith, a keen dinghy sailor with Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron in Victoria, Australia.  Geoff sails the Sabre single handed dinghy and a Tasar with his daughter.  Geoff is also a talented software developer with two software patents to his name.

Our aim for TackTracker is to make our technology accessible to everyone, for weekend sailing, training and regattas, both large and small.  This means:

  • anyone can use the tool without training
  • the end-end process of recording, loading and viewing tracks is automated and simple.
  • it's easy to share tracks with each other and access tracks published online
  • we provide the best analysis tools available
  • the solution is available at a price that all sailors can afford

TackTracker's debut was the 2009 Audi Etchells world championship, where all 85 yachts were tracked over a full week of racing.  TackTracker received many accolades from competitors at that event, and was used by many, including the world champions, as a key source of strategic information.
Since then many individuals and clubs have seen the benefits TackTracker can offer for training, promotion and plain fun.  More recently, TackTracker was chosen by the Australian Sailing Team for use by high performance coaches in each state to train sailors at the Olympic level. 

Although originating in Australia, TackTracker is now building a strong following in Asia, Britain, Continental Europe and the USA and is looking forward to a bright future.
