Radar afloat, official background reader to the RYA Radar Course
|
This handbook has been specifically published as the official background reader to the RYA radar course. That makes it essential reading for anyone undertaking the course, but it is also a very good introduction to the use of yacht radar for those who are not seeking a formal qualification or endorsement. This edition was published in 2001 and is the third edition, the first appearing in 1991. It covers real-time radar displays and therefore is not heavily affected by new systems. The principles and applications are as current and applicable today as when the first edition was published, making it a durable work.

GPS afloat, GPS navigation made simple
|
The author has introduced the range of equipment from the GPS wristwatch through portable handheld devices to fully installed onboard systems. Since the book was written there have been many new GPS systems reaching the market, but the basic range is much as in 2001/2002. All of the principles of using GPS afloat remain unchanged and the book follows through a logical flow of operations from starting to use GPS through the stages to making a passage and arriving as planned.
