VHF Radio
Both owners and also occasional boaters need to be able to use the VHF radio for general communication and especially for issues of safety. Course and license complete in the day. The modern VHF DSC system is invaluable. The course objectives are to train you to be able to use different radios in both normal and emergency situations; to communicate clearly and correctly bearing in mind you may be speaking to a foreign radio operator; to understand the benefits of the GMDSS (global maritime distress and safety system) and associated equipment, EPIRB, AIS, NAVTEX; to Send or Relay Mayday Distress alerts; and of course to attain your RYA/MCA radio licence.
