Radar is a great aid to safety! See in the fog - know what the others are doing and avoid collisions. The aim of the RYA one day course is to teach students the theory of Radar (& AIS) and how to use a basic small boat radar. Also how to interpret the Radar screen and use its outputs to assist in navigation, pilotage and collision avoidance decision making.
In addition we offer a seaborne practitioner extended course that allows you to practice your newly acquired Radar skills in the real environment, using a real Radar. Can you advise the helmsman how to avoid the buoys and vessels in Southampton Water? Give it a go - it is really the only way to learn, appreciate the finer points and gain confidence.. |
