Radar helps you not only establish your position using a lone buoy or landmark but also identify other vessels and obstacles in your vicinity and track the movement of storms. The modern radar, with its smaller size, affordability, and increased features, makes it a must-have piece of gear more than ever before for both sailors and powerboaters.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_button _id=”37″ ][cs_content_seo]REGISTER NOW\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column_2][/cs_element_layout_row_2][/cs_element_section_2][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”38″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”39″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”40″ ][cs_element_headline _id=”41″ ][cs_content_seo]introduction to radar\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_button _id=”42″ ][cs_content_seo]REGISTER NOW\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”43″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”44″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”45″ ][cs_element_layout_div _id=”46″ ][cs_element_image _id=”47″ ][cs_element_image _id=”48″ ][cs_element_image _id=”49″ ][/cs_element_layout_div][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”50″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”51″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”52″ ][cs_element_headline _id=”53″ ][cs_content_seo]Online class overview\n\nIf you race sailboats then the North U Sail Trim and Boat Speed Seminar is for you.
