WESMAR (Western Marine Electronics) from founder Bruce H. Blakey, who founded the company in 1965 to develop sonar to help commercial fishermen find fish. His company developed the world’s first solid-state sonar and the world’s first color radar. As the size of private yachts grew, the company added the development of bow and stern thrusters and roll fin stabilizers, answering the need for commercial-grade equipment for yachts to add comfort to cruising and protection in crowded, windy conditions. Fellows said the company name will remain the same, its headquarters will remain in Woodinville and company employees would remain.
