Essential safety training for motorboat skippers
About This Course
Radar is one of the most important safety tools on any motorboat operating in coastal or offshore waters. The RYA Radar Course teaches you how to use radar effectively for collision avoidance, position fixing, and navigation in restricted visibility.
Delivered in a single classroom day, the course uses simulators and real radar equipment to give you practical experience interpreting radar returns, plotting targets, and applying the collision regulations. By the end of the day you will be able to use radar with confidence.
