Setup

1. 1

   Step 1: Bond the cradle

   The cradle sticks to an open, level part of the deck with high-strength foam tape and primer, then cures for 3 days.¹⁰ On polyethylene hulls, two stainless screws go in as well.

   

2. 2

   Step 2: Twist in the tag

   The tag twists into three lugs and a latch clicks shut. Taking it off again needs your site key.

   

3. 3

   Step 3: Scan and go

   Scan the code on the tag and the code on the cradle. Nothing to type. Do it outside under open sky.

   • Tag
   • Cradle

   

• Any tag, any cradle.

  Every tag fits every cradle, and the boat’s identity lives on the cradle. So any tag can take another’s place.

• Three base shapes.

  Base shapes for flat decks and curved decks, and a glued patch for inflatable paddleboards.

• In the kit.

  A tag, a cradle with its pads fitted, foam tape and primer, two stainless screws with rubber well-nuts, and a site key.
