Description
Radar in the Boat is a practical and educational handbook for boaters who want to use radar safely and effectively. Written by Pat Manley, the book explains how radar works in practice, focusing on understanding radar signals, the radar beam and how information is presented on the radar screen. It provides a thorough introduction to stabilization, main settings and sub-functions, as well as how radar is actively used for navigation, position understanding and collision avoidance. Furthermore, the book shows how to interpret radar images, find your way in poor visibility and avoid collisions in demanding situations. The Norwegian edition has been adapted to Norwegian conditions by Jon Winge and serves as both a textbook and reference work for anyone who uses radar in leisure boats or smaller vessels.
