In development at TackTronics
Things never stand still at TackTronics. On this page you will find our latest updates, projects and partnerships. Everything that contributes to smarter, more reliable marine systems – clearly in one place.
TackTronics changes course
More than just a change of course
Marine technology is evolving fast — and TackTronics is evolving with it. We have decided to organise our work differently.
A clear shift in the way we work
TackTronics no longer takes on new direct installation projects for private customers. For new projects we now work exclusively through a network of professional installation partners.
Our focus is on:
- System engineering
- Technical design and integration
- Commissioning
- System optimisation and support
We are shifting from hands-on installer to technical knowledge and engineering partner.
Involvement in private projects
In the new structure TackTronics remains involved in private projects, but through our installation partners. We remain involved in:
- Engineering and system design
- Technical support
- Commissioning and optimisation
This way we combine professional execution with our technical expertise and quality control.
Focus and specialisation
We feel most at home where technology allows no compromise and quality is a given — where integration is right down to the last detail.
“High-end technology demands focus.”
The first step has been taken…
The TackTronics partner network in Belgium
In our previous newsletter we explained that TackTronics now works through a network of professional installation partners. The first step has now been taken.
A strong network in Belgium
In Belgium we now have a network of installation partners with good coverage for high-end systems on board.
TackTronics supports these partners with:
- system engineering
- technical integration
- commissioning
- system optimisation
This applies both to power solutions and to navigation and instrumentation systems. We will also be in Belgium regularly ourselves to give partners and projects technical support.
The network keeps growing
Although the Belgian network is now well established, we continue to expand it.
We are also building a network of installation partners in the Netherlands. More on that soon.
And there is more to come…
Building a partner network is just one part of the developments at TackTronics. Behind the scenes we are also preparing a next step that will usher in a new phase for TackTronics.
Technology meets adventure
On board, where everything has to be right
Some projects go beyond technology alone. They start with an idea — and end somewhere far beyond the horizon.
On board with Tom Waes
For the programme Zeilen Waes presenter Tom Waes is stepping aboard his sailing yacht to explore new regions over the coming years. The first destination: the north.
A region where conditions change quickly and where technology simply has to keep working… day and night, in all conditions. TackTronics supports this project on the technical side, from system integration to use on board.
Technology you can trust
On board, everything revolves around overview, simplicity and reliability. That is why a fully integrated system was chosen, based on:
- B&G navigation and instrumentation
- Victron Energy power management and monitoring
- PredictWind forecasting and routing
Preparing for sea
The work doesn't stop before departure — that is where it really begins.
We provide practical training on board and at sea, tailored to the conditions in which the system will be used. Not manuals, but experience. Not theory, but confidence. So that everything works intuitively when the situation demands it.
Coming soon
From next year you can follow this voyage in Zeilen Waes on VRT.
A series where adventure and reality meet — showing what it takes to make journeys like this possible.
And there is more to come…
Projects like this show where we feel most at home. But there is more going on!
Behind the scenes we are building something that will play a central role in how we work, collaborate and support.
New course – New home base
TackTronics moves to Delta Marina
Sometimes you arrive somewhere and immediately know: this is right. For TackTronics, that place is Delta Marina in Kortgene — our new home base where technology, logistics and service come together. A location that is not only strategic, but above all gives us room to keep growing. And honestly… with a familiar face here and there, it feels a bit like coming home!
Faster response, better support
With our own warehouse on site and support in back office, shipping and logistics, we are taking an important step forward. Shorter lines, faster delivery and a more direct response to what happens in practice — exactly what you can expect. From this location we will also handle dropshipping for a number of partners, so we can deliver even more flexibly and take more off your hands.
Strategic and practical
Its location in the south-west of the Netherlands, close to Belgium, makes Delta Marina a logical hub. For us, but also for dealers and partners who want to join in and use the knowledge and facilities. And with a marina right on the doorstep, technical support on board is only a short step away — as it should be.
On to the next phase
With Delta Marina we are taking a clear step forward: more speed, better support and a strong foundation for the next phase of TackTronics.
The story behind Team JAJO x TackTronics
Heading out with confidence
The sun slowly sinks towards the horizon. The wind picks up. On board an offshore race boat, everything revolves around teamwork, focus and trust.
For Team JAJO, being ‘race-ready’ means more than just speed! It means knowing that everything is right — down to the smallest detail. Because when you sail at a high level, trust is not a feeling but a requirement. Trust in your team, your equipment — and above all in the technology on board.
TackTronics is behind that certainty
From navigation to communication and power supply: every system on board has to work seamlessly. On the open sea there is no room for doubt. When technology falters, it has a direct impact on safety, speed and decision-making. That is exactly why everything has to be right — always.
With the expertise of TackTronics through Niels Gijzel, Team JAJO can rely on systems that do what they should, when it matters. So the team can focus fully on performing.
Skipper Jelmer van Beek puts it well:
“As Team JAJO we are very happy with TackTronics' support. To sail a race boat like this, electronics and navigation equipment are crucial. And with TackTronics and this support, we know we are always in good hands. Contact with Niels is always very pleasant, because he responds quickly and thinks along about what is possible for our boat.”
What if you could experience this yourself? A summer evening at sea. Wind in the sails. The feeling of control, speed and total focus — out on the water. Soon we will make this possible.
An exclusive evening sail from Scheveningen!
- sail on an ocean race boat (it has sailed around the world twice)
- take an active part on board (helming, hoisting sails)
- finish with drinks together
An experience that normally sells out in no time — but will soon be available exclusively to our community!
Tip: this giveaway will launch soon on our social channels. Want a chance to win? Make sure you're there. This is your moment to get out on the water!
70 years of B&G
70 years of B&G: built for sailors who want to go further
Some brands follow the market – others have been setting the course for decades.
This year B&G celebrates its 70th anniversary — seven decades devoted entirely to one world: sailing.
From ocean crossings and world cruises to offshore racing and top-level competitive sailing: B&G systems are developed by and for sailors who know that reliability, speed and insight make the difference.
For every kind of sailing
Whether it is relaxed cruising, long-distance passages, short-handed sailing or hard-core offshore racing — the B&G range has a suitable solution for almost every boat and every level of ambition.
From user-friendly systems for leisure sailors to the advanced Performance line for high-performance race yachts and double-handed racing projects.
Proven on the water
At the recent North Sea Regatta, teams equipped with B&G systems took gold in both ORC 1 and ORC 2. Team Olympix finished 1st overall in ORC 1, and Team Warp 5 also took the overall win in ORC 2.
No theory. Just proven performance at sea.
Built on experience
What sets B&G apart is that its technology comes from the practice of sailing itself.
With 70 years of experience, B&G continues to develop systems that give sailors more control, better data and maximum performance — from relaxed cruising to competitive offshore racing.
And that is exactly why so many sailors worldwide still choose B&G.
