Boat Capture System

Boat Capture System is a complete solution for loading a boat onto a trailer under substantial power in calm or rough water. SSC San Diego’s boat capture system is a successfully field-tested technology, used by the Navy SEALs that alleviates the constraints of current boat-loading processes. Utilizing guide posts, an expandable and retractable harness, and an automatic latch and release system, this technology makes loading a boat onto a trailer a hassle-free, automated process. The guideposts guide the boat onto the trailer, while an elastic harness grabs the automatic latch system and stops the boat, even under substantial power in rough water, firmly landing and securing the boat to the trailer. All that remains is to attach the winch lanyard, which may be used to further secure the vessel. Benefits: Safer loading and unloading due to greater control throughout the process Faster loading and unloading due to automated processes, reducing the need for extra “hands” Enhanced loading ability to allow the boater to perform in any sea/lake condition Simple, cost-effective trailer modification Can be modified to use preexisting bow eye hole, avoiding boat modifications Applicable to many different boat types and sizes DoD 5000 Series Technical Readiness Level 9: Actual system "fligh-proven" thorugh successful mission operations
