This is a great 1-day introduction to RADAR for leisure boaters. It will give you an understanding of how radar is used for both navigation and collision avoidance. If you're preparing for a Yachtmaster practical exam, you'll need to know about radar as well as all the usual sailing and navigation topics. This 1-day course is a great way to develop your knowledge. The cost includes a certificate, the RYA Radar book and an RYA Radar Course booklet. Radio Direction And Ranging - RADAR - uses pulses of radio waves which are reflected back off other vessels & features. This gives their direction, distance & bearing.
Radar is an essential tool to see what's around you in fog, at night or in strange light conditions, such as the glare of sunlight off the water. It can also be used to get a position fix by distance and bearing to an obvious charted feature. Because radar can measure distance extremely accurately, a 3 'radar range' fix is often more accurate than your Global Navigation Satellite System. It's also a great aid for piloting your boat in difficult circumstances. What else will I learn?
