Radar Clinic - A July 28, 2007

Ask any experienced navigator which instrument they value most, GPS or radar. Almost universally the answer will be radar. It is the most powerful electronic navigation tool on most boats and few of us really know how to use it. Here's your chance to learn!

This one day clinic is designed to introduce you to the proper use of radar with a slight emphasis on GPS. We teach this course aboard our 39ft. Mainship trawler to apply those theories through practical experience. Among other things, you will learn how to discern buoys from vessels, track vessels to determine whether you are on a collision course, and navigate with radar using one, two and three bearing fixes.

This one day clinic is limited to six people per boat and reservations are required. For more information, the latest schedule, or to enroll call 800-343-7245.
