and is ideal for anyone requiring a working knowledge of
radar."To get the best from your set you need to

This book was written to accompany the RYA one day
training course but if you can't manage to get to a course
near you, it's also useful as a quick and easy reference
guide.
"In clear and easy language it offers a 'background
briefing', which explains what radar is and how it works
and then explains its use on a small boat giving an honest
appraisal of the operational limitations you might
encounter.
"Further chapters cover switching on and setting up,
refining and understanding the picture, blind areas,
different types of radar reflector and their limitations,
how to fix radar positions, pilotage by radar and
collision avoidance.
"All in all this book provides you with a very easy
read introduction to radar on small boats and the text and
accompanying illustrations are clear and unambiguous.
So if you're thinking about using radar, or have bought a
boat with radar installed, here's the book to show you how
to get get the most out of it. Highly recommended."
