Year: 2013 Language: English Author: David Burch Genre: Guide Publisher: McGraw-Hill Education Edition: Revised Edition ISBN: 9780071830393 Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 256 Description: Become an Expert Small-craft Radar Operator! Nothing beats radar for guiding your boat through the darkest night or the thickest fog. Radar enables you to plot a fix from just a single buoy or landmark, and it is the only navigation tool that tells you not just where you are, but who else and What else is out there with you. Today's smaller, affordable, more powerful radars make more sense than ever for sailors and powerboaters. This complete, in-depth manual shows you how to: - Choose the best radar model for your sail- or powerboat - Install, adjust, and operate your system - Interpret the images on your radar screen - Pilot your boat and track the movements of vessels around you - Use radar to track and avoid squalls, to outmaneuver competitors in a yacht race, and for other specialized tasks - Interface your radar with a digital compass, GPS, or electronic chart We hope that this book reflects our years of radar teaching experience both in the classroom and even more pertinent in our onboard courses underway. The book is divided into two parts, Basics and Beyond the Basics (see Preface notes in the Features link), so that readers can get underway with safe, efficient radar usage as soon as possible.
