Modern radar is an invaluable tool for the leisure boater, but is only useful in the hands of a knowledgeable operator, and is potentially dangerous if used when unfamiliar with its strengths and weaknesses. Practical sessions include using the screen controls, plotting targets and navigational techniques, using software simulators and real radar equipment onboard a vessel when practical. 📡 Key Details Duration: 1 day Meeting point: 40 High Street, Menai Bridge, Anglesey, LL59 5EF Minimum age: 16 years Group size: 1 to 6 Format: Classroom, with afloat exercises when the day allows 🔑 Key Skills How radar waves travel and where the set has limits Reading the display and telling targets apart Using radar for collision avoidance Radar plotting for navigation Fitting radar into a passage plan 👀 Syllabus The RYA Radar course syllabus is taught in a ratio of (12:1) students to instructor and covers the following: How the radar set works How its adjustments and features affect the way it works Target definition Radar reflectors Types of radar display Radar plotting The use of radar in navigation and collision avoidance 📍 Location The course is held at our training centre in Menai Bridge on the Isle of Anglesey, with a fully equipped classroom and the boats a five-minute walk away when the day includes time on the water. Menai Bridge offers generally sheltered waters, with the Strait close enough for a proper radar picture. They say if you can navigate the Menai Strait then it sets you in good stead for any navigational boating challenge. The classroom is in the town itself, easily reached by taking junction 8A onto the A5 off the A55 at Britannia Bridge, with Pay and Display parking across the road. ✅ Prerequisites No previous radar or navigation experience is required. The day starts from the fundamentals, so it suits anyone with a radar on board or anyone who intends to use one. A little chartwork helps, but it is not essential. Come ready for a full classroom day, and for time on the water if the session includes afloat exercises. Wear warm layers and non-slip footwear if you may go afloat. ⭐ Why Choose Us What makes a Seawake Powerboat Training course different is our team.

This day is for anyone who has radar on board, or who intends to use radar for navigation, on a motor or sailing vessel. It suits people who have never switched a set on, and people who already have one and want to read it properly. Radar only helps if you understand its limits. The course is there so you can interpret the display, tell targets apart and fold the picture into a passage plan rather than staring at a screen you do not trust. ### Do I need previous navigation or radar experience? No. The day starts with how radar waves travel and the parts of the set, then builds to plotting and collision avoidance. You do not need a previous RYA ticket to attend. A little chartwork helps when you start plotting range and bearing, but it is not required. The instructor works through the plots with you. ### What topics are covered? You cover radar wave travel, the components of a radar set, types of display, target definition and discrimination, and radar reflectors. You then work range, bearing and plotting techniques. The day also looks at how radar sits with a chart and with collision avoidance, so the picture on the screen is something you can act on, not just watch. ### Is the course only in the classroom? Training is delivered in the classroom, and as a mix of classroom and afloat exercises when the day allows. The Menai Strait gives you a real picture to interpret when you go afloat. Either way, the syllabus is the same. You leave knowing how the set works, where it has limits, and how to plot what you see. ### How long is the day? The course is completed in a single day, typically around 6 to 8 hours depending on the group and whether you go afloat. It starts from the classroom at 40 High Street, Menai Bridge. The day is split between the theory of the set and the practical plots. There is time for questions on the picture in front of you, not a race through slides. ### Is there an exam? There is no formal exam. You work through practical exercises and plotting scenarios so the instructor can see that you understand the principles. Feedback runs through the day. The aim is that you can read the display, tell targets apart and use the picture for navigation and collision avoidance when you go back to your own boat. ### What materials are provided? Course materials, charts, plotting sheets and access to radar equipment are provided. You do not need to bring your own set. A notebook and pen are enough. If the day includes time afloat, warm layers and non-slip footwear are useful. ### Where does the course take place? The course is held at our training centre in Menai Bridge on the Isle of Anglesey. The classroom is at 40 High Street, LL59 5EF, with the boats a five-minute walk away when you go afloat. Take junction 8A onto the A5 off the A55 at Britannia Bridge. Pay and Display parking is across the road from the classroom. ### Will this help on my own boat? Yes. The day is written so you can take the same principles back to the set on your own motor or sailing vessel. The Menai Strait picture is a useful one, because it mixes close targets with more open water. You will still need to learn the buttons on your own display. The course teaches you what the picture means, not only which menu to open. ### Is radar a substitute for looking out? No. Radar is a tool that sits with a lookout, a chart and the collision regulations. The course spends time on the limits of the set so you do not treat a blank screen as an empty sea. Used well, it helps with collision avoidance and navigation in poor visibility. Used without that understanding, it can give you a false sense of what is out there. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/DJI_20250411115450_0039_D21.webp - **Gallery image count**: 8 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
