Saffire Keeping Track

The 2008-09 race will use a state-of-the-art race management tracking system to monitor the progress of the fleet on its 39,000 nautical mile voyage round the globe.

The system, known as Saffire, has been developed by Bluefinger , the maritime division of Cybit , the UK’s leading online telematics service provider. It will be used to track the position, direction and speed of each yacht.
