REMOTE CONTROL YACHT! Sailing Zatara: Dockmate is “The Coolest Upgrade We’ve Ever Done!”

REMOTE-CONTROL-YACHT-The-Coolest-Upgrade

After two decades in the corporate world, this family of six decided we needed a change. In summer of 2016, we sold our home in our quiet suburban Texas neighborhood, said goodbye to friends and family, liquidated most of our assets, and bought a sailboat. Our plan is to live on the boat for the next several years and circumnavigate the globe. We are video logging our adventure to share with friends and family, and to journal how this change affects us and our kids. All our episodes are family-friendly and filmed, edited, and published exclusively by us! We invite you to follow along on our journey!

When using a Dockmate® remote, that was charged to 100%, it takes up to 3 hours of constant use (remote actively communicating with the Receiver) to deplete the battery. This translates to a few very difficult and/or long docking manoeuvres, or lasts at least 15 docking manoeuvres of approximately 10 minutes.

During our test charging a Dockmate® remote from empty to completely full takes up to 3 hours. In practice we’ve observed a typical charging time for a Dockmate® remote of 20 to 40 min. For boaters using our latest Dockmate® Cradle, their Dockmate® remote is virtually always charged up and ready for use.
