The Globalstar Sat Fi is a Satellite antenna connected to a
Wi-Fi router. Apps are available for iOS, Android, Mac OS, and
windows. Seasonal packages are available that allow the user to
use minutes up front as needed.
Things are moving fast as companies respond to customer
demands for easier and cheaper access to the internet. At present, most economical satellite communication systems are adequate for voice, text, and short emails; however, speeds and
costs are not conducive to internet browsing.
REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE
Spot Gen3 from Globalstar has been credited with
thousands of rescues.
If you do not need voice communication, then more economical
options are available to you. Bradd and Maeve Wilson have been
living abroad and cruising full-time for the last 15 years and have
covered some 70,000 miles. Having a solid business background
and being a self-described "pretty thorough guy," Bradd realized
fellow cruisers could benefit from what he had learned. Bradd
started Cruising Solutions to sell products the couple had tested
themselves that had proven successful. To run a successful business from their boat, the couple needed reliable and affordable
communications, even when they were in remote areas such as
the coast of Newfoundland. Since 2004, the couple has used
the Iridium satellite based Skymate system when away from cell
phone service and Wi-Fi. Bradd says the most recent version,
the Skymate I1000, is easy to install, easy to use, and has proven
reliable and affordable.
Skymate systems use the Iridium constellation of satellites
and GPS satellites to provide email, weather, and position tracking weblog. The system works like a Wi-Fi router but is connected to a satellite network rather than a DSL or cable provider, and
works with any Wi-Fi enabled device.

Table of Contents for the Digital Edition of Canadian Yachting June 2017
Vantage Point: A “Flare” for Safety
Club Profile: Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club
Pacific Northwest Classic: Southern Straits Race - For the last 49 years, the West Vancouver Yacht Club has proudly hosted the Annual Southern Straits Race. Known for offering challenging conditions, this Pacific Northwest classic is a proud qualifying event for both the VanIsle 360 and Vic-Maui Yacht Race. This year, Canadian Yachting magazine’s Bob Nicoll sailed on one of the 82 boats that competed. By Bob Nicoll
Canadian Boatbuilder Profile: Modernizing Tradition at Rossiter Boats - The history of Rossiter Boats is one that combines passion, fostering of tradition, and an eye towards the future. It all started 40 years ago with 19-year-old George Rossiter repairing the wooden canoe of a fellow cottager on Go Home Bay. Now Rossiter is perhaps Canada’s fastest-growing boatbuilder. By Kate Fincham
Cruising Technology: Staying Connected - Your summer cruise may be a vacation, but a pretty sizeable percentage of boat owners do want to keep in contact, whether for business or family reasons. In the not too distant past it was a big deal to clear your responsibilities and be able to take off for even a few weeks. However, connectivity for the average boater is improving and within the financial reach of most. By Glen Cairns
The Port Hole
Sail Review: Jeanneau 51 Yacht
Power Review: Leader 33
Trailering Part 3: Trailer Maintenance - Towing the Trailer, and Launching and Retrieving the Boat. The third and final article in our three-part series of important and useful information to help our readers travel with their boats on vacations, fishing trips or to regattas. Go safely this summer!
