Become an Expert Small-Craft Radar OperatorNothing 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 or what else is out there with
you. Today's smaller, affordable, efficient radars make more sense
than ever for sailors and powerboaters. Adopted by the American
Sailing Association for their radar course and used by professional
and recreational radar training schools around the world, this
complete, in-depth manual shows you how to: Choose the best radar
model for your sailboat or powerboatInstall, adjust, and operate
your systemInterpret the images on your radar screenPilot your boat
and track the movements of vessels around youUse radar to track and
avoid squalls, outmaneuver competitors in a yacht race, and other
specialized tasksInterface your radar with a digital compass, GPS,
or electronic chart "This book will turn you into an expert on
small-craft radar operations. It covers everything--radar choice,
installation, use, and how to interface with your electronics. Very
comprehensive!" -- Boat Books "Stands out among other books on the
subject . . . an excellent introduction to radar." -- Power
Cruising "Radar is an electronic tool, the operation of which takes
much more interpretation than any other--too little knowledge can
be just as dangerous as none. Radar for Mariners helps you
understand how radar works, explains its limitations, and shows you
how to get the full use of radar's functions. This book should show
up on the radar screen of anyone with radar--or contemplating
getting one. I can't wait to go to my boat and stop playing with my
radar and start using it." -- Good Old Boat
