Radar
"I have just completed the RYA Radar course. Iván is a good teacher bringing his own experience and study to the task. He engages students, makes good use of simulations and other resources. The course was well timed and professionally delivered. I have been messing in boats for over 30 years and still have learnt a lot. "

Did you know that the IRPCS (international Regulation of Prevention of Collision at Sea), says that if you have a Radar onboard you must use it?
Radars are a common feature onboard recreational and small commercial vessels and yet are not always used to its full potential. In fact, many people fear turning it on because they don’t know how to use it properly.
The course is aimed at anyone who needs to learn to set up and use the set effectively as a navigation aid and for collision avoidance.
The course content was developed by the Royal Yachting Association to help small vessel operators, both power and sail get better use of their radar. You will get to experience different scenarios through a simulator covering all aspects of radar usage.
You will gain the confidence to use your radar in conditions of restricted visibility and the knowledge to understand what is on your radar screen.
