Test Driving Watchet Smart Collision Prevention System
Erik begins testing the system in one of his favorite secret anchorages, showcasing its ability to alert him when navigating close to shore. The device provides audible and visual warnings of impending dangers like shallow water or obstacles ahead.
Pretending To Fall Asleep While Sailing
In a more challenging test, Erik sets the boat’s course straight toward land and pretends to fall asleep. The system alerts him of potential hazards such as rocks and shallow water, giving him time to react before a collision occurs.
Real-life Application and Accidents Prevention
The system’s effectiveness becomes apparent during this test, emphasizing its potential to prevent serious accidents. It constantly monitors the boat’s position relative to surrounding land or obstacles, providing ample warning for sailors who might otherwise overlook these hazards.
Conclusion
Erik is pleased with the Watchet Smart Collision Prevention System’s performance during his test and plans to bring it on his upcoming trip to Greenland. The system serves as an essential safety tool for sailors looking to minimize human error while navigating the open seas.
Final Thoughts
Though human error remains a factor in sailing, technology like the Watchet Smart Collision Prevention System can greatly reduce potential risks and help keep sailors safe while enjoying their time on the water. Remember always to stay vigilant when navigating, especially in unfamiliar waters.

Hi everyone!
Join me onboard as I install and test the brand new WATCHIT Smart Collision Prevention System! This is a system developed purely to prevent collisions at sea. It monitiors the surroundings around you, and will alert if you get close to shallow waters, grounds or navigation marks. We are only human and we can take bad desicions, or even no decisions at all, when we get tired and fatigued. WATCHIT is here to make you aware, when your not aware yourself.
Im really exited to bring this onboard to Greenland. When sailing in unknown water this system creates an extra barrier between me and a possible danger, and will make me aware if Im closing into a danger I might not know is there.
Lets put it to a real test!
