at a discount reflecting their "better risk" status!

New for 2008 is our Radar Clinic, and

or two weekend mornings.
Topics include:

major components

features & functions found on most units

Radar for navigation: bearings and ranges
-
Radar for collision avoidance: rapid plotting
of Radar targets
-
adjusting controls for weather and sea conditions
-
pitfalls and potential misinterpretation
The course is taught by Captain Stephen Glenn
Card, the Director of the Sailing Center. Captain Card has a Radar
Observer Unlimited endorsement on his USCG Master's License and is a candidate
for the ASA Radar Instructor endorsement (which will be official prior
to the clinic).
Tuition of $345 includes:
-
Practice with a PC based Radar Simulator
-
Course materials, including Radar Simulator
software (PC only).
-
Use of our plotting tools (we recommend you
bring your own)
-
ASA Radar exam and endorsement

Next two schedules:
3 Wednesday evenings, February 13, 20 & 27; 2 Sunday mornings,
March 9 & 16.
Location: Long
Island City at Broadway & Steinway Street (R and V trains from Manhattan,
and G train in Brooklyn/Queens). Or, drive – safe, convenient parking.
Who can attend?
Anyone. We recommend that you have at least Basic Cruising
or Coastal Nav (next CoNav schedule starts Sunday, January 27) before you
take the clinic, but again, it is not required to attend. Before
you can get the ASA Radar endorsement, however, you must have 104 (Bareboat).
Regardless of whether you sail or have certification, you will receive
a certificate from the Sailing Center upon successful completion of the
course.
Certification Achieved:
The new ASA Radar Endorsement.
