SBA Ltd Logo

SBA is an Isle of Man based Business and IT Strategy consultancy that delivers worldwide. We specialise simply in levering IT to make organisations work better.

We don't care about particular products and systems - they are irrelevant unless the provide a focused solution to a specific business activity or problem. We are agnostic about suppliers, we believe that the technology which delivers best value for money is made of the products that most closely address the issues. We recognise that many "off the shelf" products have great value when correctly deployed against compatible problems, but we also believe that custom or home-grown technology can deliver such great value that despite the difficulties in creating and maintaining it, it can never be ignored in devising the best solution to a business problem. We are pragmatic and cynical, we are not an IT Services company, and we have no allegiances except to profit - our customers' and our own.

Thank you to Marine Electronic Services Ltd for the supply of their latest AIS-B Transponder.

Digital Yacht has introduced a new Class B AIS Transponder suitable for use on leisure and small commercial vessels. Called the SMARTERTrack AIT250, it incorporates an AIS transmitter as well as receiver, allowing your vessel's position, identity and track to be relayed to other vessels equipped with AIS equipment.

I will be going through some very busy commercial shipping areas and this equipment will allow me to see and be seen.

AIS is now not being fitted for operational reasons but please support MES, they are still helping by supporting the event and they offer great service, support and pricing for all your boating electronic needs.

 

Thank you to Garmin UK for providing electronic charts for the entire coastline of the UK for use in the backup chartplotter - Garmin GPSMAP 76CS.

At any time enroute where I am out of site of land I will be using the second plotter to confirm the operation of the main plotter. The Garmin GPSMAP 76CS may be a handheld device but it is a very capable and easy to use plotter. I have had mine for over 2 years now and wouldn't go to sea without it.

British Waterways

Thank you to British Waterways Scotland for allowing me free passage through the Caledonian Canal.

Some have said that I am missing something by going through the canal instead of going round the north of Scotland but I strongly disagree. The Caledonian Canal is one of the legs I am most looking forward too... great scenary, sheltered passage, the fun of the locks... it is a great place for a holiday and my 3 days passing through will be my half way holiday!

MR STICKER has been providing signwriting services to clients throughout the South West in Devon & Cornwall for nearly 15 years. In fact we were probably about the first business in this region to employ computer aided signmaking equipment and have kept up to date constantly with the latest technology and software.

We strive to give value for money to our customers and always put 100% into the design and manufacturing process. (In fact, very often, our clients like our designs so much that they re-print all their stationery so that it is in-line with their signs)

Yacht Haven Quay Plymouth logo Yacht Haven Quay has had a successful 2007 operating as a dry berthing and boat storage facility in Plymouth.

We can dry berth up to 10m and 5 tonnes but offer storage ashore for the majority of vessels.

We are now moving into the next phase of our development and will soon start the construction of the UK's first purpose built indoor dry stack building.

We will be able to store over 200 boats on racks 4 storeys high in a fully enclosed building.

Stagate is stored at Yacht Haven Quay and I highly recommend them. The service is superb, friendly and helpful and once the new storage building is open it will, without doubt, be the best dry-berth facility in Britain.
