This is a one day course giving you an understanding of radar as an aid to navigation and collision avoidence. Cruising boats increasingly have radar on board.The International Regulations for the Prevention of Collision at Sea states that if you have a radar you must know how to use it. Radar is probably the most versatile of all the electronic aids but the best results are only possible when you know how to use all the functions correctly. It is not an all seeing eye, and can easily mislead those who do not understand its controls, allow for its limitions or interpret its picture.
