AIS Transponder installation on a small sailing boat Em Trak B100
One final job i wanted to do this winter was to install AIS (automaitc identification system) into the sailboat before the summer, i had chose to install an AIS transponder rather than an AIS receiver as the cost to get the transponder was not much difference, and would future proof the installation for future upgrades.
The package we got was the EM-Trak sailors pack which includes a B100 Transponder and VHF splitter, which is exactly what we needed, Its important to note that i am not sponsored by EM-Trak, just a happy customer.
this will help our passage planning in the future and you will see this in use during season 3.
if you havent watched anything from our channel before then what are you waiting for, there is are a couple of nicely organised playlists for you, but if you want an intro to our boat you will find that here;

And if you're wondering who we are? then thats here;
Welcome to Cactus sailing where we are sailing the uk, and sailing uk waters, This season we’re heading west to the scilly isles but in future we hope to go sailing and travel further to France or Spain.
Our true ambition is to go sailing around the world cruising along the way in our sailing boat, although our boat might not be up to getting to the Mediterranean (for our comfort levels anyway)
To that point we may change the Bavaria 30 in the future for a bluewater sailing yacht or a liveaboard boat which we can live full time.
But for now the English channel is our ocean and sailing the pacific can be left to other sailing yachts like la vagabonde, we will stick to the south coast sailing until we follow in many others footprints.
This sailing vlog and this season you will see our life on board namely boat life in our tiny floating house as we avoid the storms and go off cruising the uk south coast which isnt quite blue water cruising but the tides and winds sure make for a challenging ride!
