Both sailing and motor boats increasingly have radar onboard. The International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea state that if you have a radar, you must know how to use it. Radar is probably the most versatile of all electronic navigation aids, but the best results are only obtained when you know how to use all of the functions correctly. It is not an all seeing eye, and can easily mislead those who do not understand its controls, allow for its limitations, or interpret its picture.
The RYA Radar course is a one-day course providing a clear understanding of radar and how it can be used to aid navigation and avoid collisions.
We use top of the range Radar simulators to give a real life feel to the course. Backed up with expert tuition.
With our experienced instructors you will be guided through the course at an easy pace allowing you to experiment with the technology and get the most out of the course.
in 2026, we are limiting our RYA Radar course to just 5 students per course. This allows more time per student and a greater variety of topics to be covered in depth.
We are running 2 of these course in 2026,
Sunday 1st November
Sunday 13th December
with more courses to come in 2027
Despite keeping ratios lower, we will be charging the same as out other shore based courses £125 for the day.
