Editorial Review:

Product Description:


Here is everything the small-boat skipper needs to install and operate radar equipment and master the art of interpreting its screen displays. Radar for Mariners helps sailors navigate through darkest night and the thickest fog with:

• Complete, in-depth instruction in marine radar--tuning, screen interpretation, collision avoidance, coastal navigation, and weather tactics
• Expert advice on choosing the best unit for a particular boat and installing it correctly
• A CD-ROM containing instructional freeware, an interactive demo version of the author's well-known radar simulator program, and an encrypted copy of the actual Starpath Radar Trainer

Average Rating:

Rating: - Book/simulator used to supplement USCG Advanced Nav Course
I find this book to be an excellent practical text for teaching extended use of radar. Coupling the functionality to the CG Rules of the Road is a tremendous service for mariners who want additional training over and above what is offered in most courses on the subject. Including an introductory (time limited) Starpath Simulator disk makes this a real bargin to those considering taking the simulator course.

This is a descent book on the subject of marine radar. Since there aren't too many other books on the subject it's probably worth reading. However, the author goes into extreme detail on the engineering and related math of radar systems, something that the average user needs to know little of. You might want to skip that section. The book comes with a demo training radar simulator with the hope of getting you hooked so you'll pay an additional $200 for the real simulator and an online course. Save ... Read More
