Earlier this year OmniSTAR BV had sponsored a non-stop/ solo sailing trip around the world by Mark Slats under the flag of Oceanstocross (Dutch solo sailer).In return for sponsoring Mark with our OmniSTAR-AM tracking service we received a 'taste' of what it was like to sail across the oceans by letting us experience a day on the North Sea. We were blessed with wonderful weather: sunny, light winds and at the end of the day our Tracking device was returned to us.

Mark expressed his gratitude for having been given the use of our Tracking service that performed flawlessly. It gave all interested parties left at home instant insight in exact location, speed, direction and a historical trail of where he had been.It also gave him the reassurance that our 'panic alarm' service could have advised 'the world' instantly of any situation if it would have occurred. Fortunately also his expedition was executed flawlessly and at the end established a new Dutch record for solo-sailing around the world (age and time required).

We encourage you to have a look at his website (www.oceanstocross) for a look at his experiences. The text is in Dutch, but his pictures spell a thousand words.
