Yacht nav systems can log where you have been, but a small minority of ships will permanently log their location somewhere publicly accessible. To get the data you'd need to get onto the yacht to access the nav system.
- imglorp 7y agoEven small private vessels have AIS these days, especially if nicely appointed. Of course, the transponder can be turned off if you want to avoid any ... Imperial entanglements.
- wlll 7y agoThey're mostly AIS receivers for the smaller vessels rather than tranceivers, but yes, that is true (for a boat the size I'd estimate this was it likely had a tranceiver). You also can very easily turn AIS off onboard if you don't want to be tracked, whereas there's less danger of someone sneaking onboard to look at the nav system so that might have been left on. edit I just re-read your comment and realised I missed most of it somehow. It's late here, and you were spot on, sorry! edit edit Also, It's an older code sir, but it checks out.
- ryanlol 7y agoLots of yacht spotting sites and other OSINT sources you could use to track a vessel that doesn’t broadcast its location.
- wlll 7y agoWhat sort of resources are there? I wasn't aware of any.
