TowPro by TSM-Systems

Insurance approved Advanced Tow System

This system alerts crews ahead of problems becoming an incident, and allows more favourable insurance terms, allowing yachts to tow at night, further distances and in more extreme conditions. Featuring a robust VHF based telemetry link backed up by Iridium between tender and yacht. Crews can monitor the tender on and off tow on a private network. Constant monitoring of the tender include Battery level, Bilge Level, Bilge Pump activity, Pitch, Yaw and Roll.
