Ellen's support team knew by the minute her location and the location of every boat in her vicinity at all times.

Bull****. Not every vessel carries a locator. Big shipping, perhaps, provided
their equipment isn't faulty or turned off but certainly not small private
yachts which could be run down and sunk by little dyke Ellen's flagrant
disregard for the Colregs and Rule 5 in particular.

They would be in contravention if no sail plan was filed.... ham radio routing would inform all vessels in the area of her route
and location, satellite phones are on most commercial and private yachts, sailors with crew failing to maintain watch which
includes radio broadcasts as per court rulings would also be in breach if a collision occurred. More than likely that every vessel
passing close to her route would have been informed.
