One: waterproof LoRa transmitter with GPS and some MCU, waterproof and solar charged
Second: Cabin LoRa receiver with MCU producing AIS NMEA sentences for each dinghy location via USB serial or WiFi.
Boat can have several dinghies so several transmitters would be needed.
This can be really cost effective solution compared to other asset tracking 4G/LTE/satellite
Instead of dinghy if transmitter is built-in into sailor's clothes (colar) it can be even safety feature. Solar panels can be epaulettes sewn into sailor's jacket.
